For Austen-ites

When I first read Pride and Prejudice, I thought Jane Austen was crazy. I didn't understand relationships, I haven't even had my first kiss yet, and I vowed to never be crazy like the women she wrote about. 20 years later, I understand perfectly why Jane Austen fans aren't just fans of the books, they're devotees of everything Jane. Most friends that love Austen have every edition of Pride and Prejudice, but do they have the comic book?

Released by Marvel and illustrated by Hugo Petrus, it's a fun way to introduce Austen to fans who wouldn't like P&P. Get it here! 

 + For more P&P, Nan Lawson has a few great pieces for your home. My favorite are the Darcy and Elizabeth. Check out more here.

 + There are literally hundreds of books based on the characters, or the love of everything Austen. One that made it it's way to a movie is Austenland by Shannon Hale being made into a movie. Check out the trailer below and buy the book here.

 + Want to read about what inspired the Ms Austen herself? This quick and sweet read tells all- The Real Life Inspiration of Jane Austen's Work.

+ Did you know Jane Austen is getting her own £10 note? I may have to make a trip across the sea to pick one up by the time it arrives, 2017!

There's so much Jane Austen all over the world, I'm excited to see what else I find. Enjoy the weekend, Austen-ites!
