It's been a Jane Austin Weekend

So I watched "The Jane Austin Book Club" (TJABC) this weekend and it was So good. I looked for "Becoming Jane", but they were all gone, so I couldn't watch it. (Shamo, I tried). Anyway, after I watched "TJABC" I decided that I wanted to read Persuasion. But guess what, to my shock I did not have it!!!! :-) So I decided I would have to buy it. I was also missing Sense and Sensibilities. So Friday, I went to Barnes and Noble to get it. I went with my friend Cara and her adorable new baby girl Berklee, who has TONS of hair and is so tiny and has the most perfect little fingers and toes! Anyway, isn't it funny how when you have something in your mind you end up seeing it everywhere? So when we were at Barnes & Noble, I swear they had a ton of display shelves with Jane Austin items and Jane Austin related items everywhere. It was just funny.

I got my books and started reading Persuasion on Saturday. So then, what just happened to be on TV last night but Persuasion! On PBS. It was pretty good. It's a new adaptation that just came out apparently. It's not my favorite, that's for sure! My favorite Persuasion movie is the one with CiaránHinds and Amanda Root. I just love how they played their characters. I don't know why, but for some reason they had poor Anne running around Bath like a complete idiot at the end! What the heck was that? Although the guy who played Captain Wentworth was pretty hot and possible worth running after.

So that was my Jane Austin weekend. Everyday had a Jane Austin moment. If you haven't read any of her books, you should. Seriously! They are the best! Just pick one at random and read!
