What an amazing event! To celebrate, I think I'll re-read my favourite among Miss Austen's novels ("Persuasion"). I look forward to all the posts!
I'm so excited to participate! To quote my own blog announcing the event (and Miss Austen, of course): "Thank you, Maria, for organizing 'the due celebration of that festival which requires a more than ordinary share of private balls and large dinners to proclaim its importance.'"
Thank you, Maria, for organizing this event. This will be wonderful!
What a great idea! How can I participate?
@Deleilan
Enjoy your re-reading and see you next Thrusday, then!
@Alexa Adams & Regina Jeffers
