I know I said earlier that I would be participating in very few challenges in the coming year, but please forgive me for taking on one more. You all know how weak I am when it comes to the Austenesque.
The Explore the Many Genres of Jane Austen Challenge requires you to read 8 books, 1 each in the following categories of Austen/Austenesque novels: Variation, Sequel, Jane Austen as a Fictional Character, Paranormal, Modern Adaptation, Mystery, Supporting Characters, and Books by Jane Austen.
I’m not going to create a list up front, but it won’t be a problem finding books in each category on my shelves. However, I’m definitely going to read Emma, as it’s the only Austen novel I haven’t read yet.
The challenge is hosted by Shanna from Existing’s Tricky and even has a Goodreads group.
I can’t wait to start this one!
What challenges are you taking on in 2012?

I can’t believe there is stuff in this category that you haven’t read yet! LOL

You know me too well. I can’t believe I still have original Austen writings left to read, but I’m savoring them. I’m not big on paranormal versions of her work, but maybe I’ll surprise myself.

Thanks, Suko! I’m confident that Emma won’t top Persuasion or P&P but that I will enjoy it.
