I know you'll love it! (Janga even gave it her full-blessings!) And yes, Syrie, that's the line I loved--*sighs*--that's what I loved about this book. It was a romance, yes; it had all my favorite parts of Sense & Sensibility, yes; but it was like an inspirational book for writers. For all you writers out there--READ IT! Congrats, Maggie! I know you’ll love it! (Janga even gave it her full-blessings!)

I ADORE Colin Firth! I watched the new P & P and although it has some delish moments I couldn't quite buy it all. I also want to really get into the latest Persusian but the only scene I caught (and I don't remember where) was Anne Elliot sprinting through the streets of Bath with her ankles showing! A bit beyond the pale, I would think. Now I don't know if I'll DVR that one. Having said all that, I've never been interested in reading books written about Austen or what happened to her characters. I've always wondered what happened to Darcy's cousin and Lady Catherine's daughter. I've often thought that he'd be the one to drag her out into the sunlight. I did read 'The Jane Austen Book Club' and loved it. From what I've heard about 'The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen', I'm going to grab it while I can and put it on the TBR. Congratulations to Syrie on this, her first book! And congrats to Maggie for scoring the book! Even later than Janga -it’s been a long day!

I even liked him in Nanny McPhee, and I think he will be the definitive Darcy. I am another Austen fan who has ODed on all the fanfic versions of her work, but I read tons of biographical/critical stuff. I did not care at all for the movie Becoming Jane, but I loved Jon Spence's biography Becoming Jane Austen: A Life. And I thought Lauren Henderson's Jane Austen's Guide to Dating was delightful fun--and a terrific resource for writers of contemporary romance. I received The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen in a gift package, and I confess I approached reading it with trepidation. But my fears were groundless. I loved the book. I found it both intellectually and emotionally satisfying, and the voice of Jane Austen was created with such vividness and vitality that TLMOJA went straight to my keeper shelves with no wavering on my part. I know I will reread it. The cover is a wonderful bonus! Late to another discussion! :(

I won it on Risky Regencies! Thank you Riskies and Syrie James! I can't wait to read it. And Hellion, I liked <strong>Austenland</strong>, too, although it was more of an appetizer than a main course. Like Lindsey, I used to try to keep up with all the Jane stuff, but it has become impossible. But when you think what an inspiration she's been to so many writers/movie people, it's astounding. BTW in that Valmont scene, Cecile is supposed to be <strong>15.</strong>. I've never been able to decide which version I prefer...Valmont or Dangerous Liaisons. And Sommersby. Sniff. OMG!

And Sommersby. Sniff.
