Oh That Jane!

I am a Jane Austen fan, utterly and completely. Pride and Prejudice has to be one of the greatest love stories ever and the movies etc. that have been inspired by this novel are some I love to watch.

So, imagine my delight when I come across the mini-series Lost In Austen on the Ovation Channel. It is so good ... a modern day girl (Amanda Price) accidently switches places with heroine Elizabeth Bennet as love and humor ensue.


















Below is a clip with a funny little scene I'm sure every female Austen fan dreams of having, especially if you have ever seen the movie version featuring Colin Firth.



*FYI* All 4 episodes of Lost in Austen will be playing this Sunday, January 18th on the Ovation Channel starting @ 12pm then again @ 4pm

Masterpiece

I absolutely love Masterpiece Classic programing and it has become a ritual for me to curl up on Sunday evenings to watch the latest adaptation of some great period drama. You can find the entire schedule for this season here and be sure to check your local listings for your PBS station.

Tonight, I'll be watching the conclusion of Tess of the d'Urbervilles.

Breaking Dawn

So, this came out on Saturday and my own personal copy was supposed to arrive at my home. I was beyond upset when it didn't show up in my mailbox. These past few days have been torture knowing that had it arrived on-time, I could be devouring every page like so many others. I am really hoping that tomorrow will be delivery day at last ... if not then I might have to purchase another and just return the pre-ordered when it finally does arrive. Oh please, oh please USPS come through for me soon!!!
