I've been so turned on and inspired to check out more Austen stuff after reading everyone's self-challenge selections and posted reviews. I'm gonna go beyond my original six picks. I'm sure I'll be adding more along the way. I've got the Austen fever.
*Note: I decided to include my Hubby's rating and review comments on my Austen movie posts, because he is going to be watching most of the movies with me anyway. I'm also gonna try to get him to read his first Austen novel. I thought it might be fun to get a guy's perspective.
