Make haste, Advent with Austen is upon us!
Starting Sunday 26 November until Christmas Eve you are invited to post about all things Austen. My plan is to read these:
Yvann over at Reading Fuelled by Tea will lead a read-along of S&S so keep an eye out for the schedule.
Another part of the fun will be the AwA’s Twitter Movie Nights. Join us as we press “play” together every Sunday at 7PM GMT, and then just chat away using the #AwA tag.
To help us decided which movies to watch we’ve prepared a pool and the 4 most voted will be randomly assigned to each Sunday. We’d love to do some series as well, but they’re just too long. Maybe next year we’ll do a P&P 1995 marathon, one episode per chat!
So vote wisely (poll closes: Sunday, 20 November, 11.59PM GMT) :

Interesting! I’m hoping I’ll be able to watch at least one or two of these with others, and take part in all the twitter(ing). Looking forward to seeing which movies win the polls!

Like I need an excuse to watch more Austen things. I love it! I’ve seen most of these and would love to watch them again. This is a great idea.

As I’m not on Twitter (and so far don’t plan to be) and can’t guarantee any schedule what with a child, I won’t participate… but I regret it deeply and will watch some of these movies on my own then!
Have fun 😉

Northanger Abbey was on here recently. I had never seen it and came into halfway through. I liked it too much to continue as I’d prefer to see it from the beginning.

@Risa: looking forward to chatting with you – I’m already following you on twitter
@Melissa: yesterday was great, thanks for being there!
@Larissa: maybe you can watch on your own that then we can chat about it next time we meet?
@Susan Bennett: I really like this latest adaptation of NA, probably the best of the novel to date.
