Okay, I figured after dedicating so many posts to Jane Austen I should give a glimpse into why I love her as a writer.
Her writing is:
humorous, thought provoking, insightful, accurate to life.
She has a definite moral guide to what is right and wrong. In her books if you are good, even when everyone is telling you to do something else and sometimes things look bleak, good things always come to you in the end.
Jane believes in Girl Power. Her heroines are not shrinking violets. They are not scared to speak their mind and stand their ground.
And finally, Jane is just a good romance writer! I can always use a little more of that.
So, here is to Jane. Your writing is still entertaining us (well, at least me) almost 200 years after you wrote it!

Man oh man I've loved these Jane reviews and pictures. What a treat! Thanks for sharing. I'd love to do the same thing some day. I'm a HUGE fan! She is ALL those things you said.
I completely agree.
