I love Jane..have fun and enjoy :) Happy New Year :)
I'm and Jane addict in that I've read P&P over and over - but I actually only read that one and Sense and Sensibility. I read P&P every April so I'll join in on that one for sure. I may have to just jump in all the way, since I love Sense and Sensibility too. Why not, right?
Happy New Year!!
Oh, I just might read some JA books during the year. I haven't read all her books actually, but I do have them all nicely lined up on my kindle :)
Have fun with your challenge, Pamela.

What a good idea! I don't plan to sign up because I'd rather string them out over a longer period of time, but I do want to (re)read P&P this year.
Thanks! I have been meaning to read a few of her books like Sense & Sensibility for forever, so I thought I might as well read all six of her books. :)
Exactly! It is the new year! We have nothing but time. I love the S&S movie so much, and I keep meaning to read the book but I never do. I figure I might as well start my own readathon and start reading. :)
I think I have all of her books on my kindle and at least one collection of all of her books. Free e-books are both the highlight and bane of my existence. ;)
No worries. If you decide to reread P&P when I am reading it fantastic, otherwise it is okay. :) This is a super low-key readathon. I am just going to post a linky on my reviews, so people can link up if they want. I figured that there might be some people also doing this, so we could keep each other on track.
I only have 2 Austens left to read (MP & NA) I think Persuasion is my favorite followed by P&P. I love most of the movie adaptations of her books. Good luck!
Thanks! Also, I am always glad to hear love for Austen's other books. I feel like P&P gets all the love. :) I have never read Persuasion, so I am excited to read it.
I think this is a fantastic idea. I own three of her books, have memorized the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice with Keira Knightley, am a huge fan of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries web series, and yet have never read a Jane Austen novel. I admit I am ashamed of myself. Thanks for posting this challenge. I am definitely in!
Good luck to you!

PS - I found this via BookBlogging.net and am so glad I did!
Hallo, Hallo! :)
I was going to join but then I realised a promise I made myself about reading Austen through the books of hers I own! Trouble there is, I am not sure where I put my Austen books at the moment! :( Are you thinking of making this an annual reading!? IF so, I'd love to join you next year - to read all of them!? This year, I'll join you for a re-reading of "Pride and Prejudice" (just because its my absolute favourite!) and for "Persuasion" as I have never had the chance to read it! I attempted it during Austen in August (2013), but ran out of hours -- I am so thankful you said we could pick/choose! I'd read all of them for sure if I knew which box I put Jane Austen inside!
This is seriously wicked because I'll get to know a bit more about you via this reading challenge aside from just 'tweeting' you! :) I'll go sign up through BBC!! :)
Yea for joining the challenge! I am excited to do this with other folks and keep myself on track. I loved the Lizzie Bennet Diaries too! I am also starting to really enjoy Emma Approved. Thanks for letting me know how you found the challenge. :)
I am not sure, if I am going to do this challenge again next year. I will see how it goes this year. Feel free to pop in just for the Austen books that you do read. There is very little pressure with this challenge. Thanks for signing up through the BBC! :)
This is such a brilliant idea! I've decided to join you with this too - I've needed a kick up the bum to get reading these :)
Ooh! I like this! I have just a few of her books I haven't read, but I think I'll join this challenge so that I'll read them this year and maybe I'll read P&P for the umpteenth time. :) I'll go write up a post and then come back and link it up.
Here's the link to my sign-up post. I know I didn't have to do a sign-up post, but it makes it more of a priority and I wanted to spread the word. :)
This is such a great challenge! I am totally going to do it! I love P&P but I have always wanted to read Manfield Park. Great challenge! :)
Excellent! I am glad that you will be reading along with me. :) I don't think I would be following through if it wasn't for everyone joining in!
Thanks for the sign-up post. I appreciate you getting the word out. :)
Excellent! I am happy for the company! I haven't read Mansfield Park either, so this will be an adventure. :)
I'll give it a shot. I've got several of hers on my kindle.
Hurray! I have multiple copies of her books on my kindle too! I am glad that you are joining me! :)
I love Jane Austen! I'm not a blogger just an avid reader so I think I'll join in. I haven't read anything other than Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion in ages. This will be fun!
How fun! I love Jane Austen even though I have a hard time reading her books.
You know, Misty over at The Book Rat holds "Austen in August" event every year. It's super fun and a big project that she has going on. I participated last year and was also a guest blogger where I reviewed The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Maybe this event will help encourage you with your Jane Austen goal?
Do join in! You can link up a twitter post or just comment on the posts to share your thoughts. :)
Thanks for sharing! I had searched for a Jane Austen read-a-thon, but clearly I didn't Google well enough. I will have to check it out!
I just finished "Sense & Sensibility"! Yea ME!!!
I'll work on my Cozy challenge before I start on the next Austen though.
That is fantastic! You rock! :)
Fun challenge, I might join you only for Emma, I still need to read it :)
Ok, to be honest, I haven't read Mansfield Park, too, but I've never really wanted to, no idea why, but I've postponing reading Emma for years.
Happy reading!
Well you can read whichever Austen book you want. :) Emma is a great book. I read it back in high school.
Nice challenge, the only one I haven't read is Northanger Abbey, and I plan on amending that soon! Looking forward to seeing your reviews.
You are way ahead of me thing. I have only read P&P and Emma. I am looking forward to read all of her completed books this year. :)
Persuasion is my favorite -- and so far Mansfield Park is my least. I just love to see what people think about each of her books, they are pretty distinct, even though there are a lot of similarities in plot and settings. I think its a pretty good indicator of a person's personality based on which book they love the most!
I'm In. A little behind, but I'll get caught up and be right there with you. http://hoverbugonline.blogspot.com/2014/02/reading-again-in-2014.html
Without knowing it I signed up for this on Book Blogging... I found out just now so I guess I am a bit behind :P but hey no worries! It is Jane Austen after all! There isn't one thing I would't do for her so of course I am going to participate!
Fantastic! I'm glad to have you. :)
Yea! I'm glad that you are participating! :)
I just found out about this and will most likely join you at the end of the year for Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. Enjoy all the other Austen books!
Excellent! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Northanger Abbey and Persuasion!
Hey ^^ Love the challenge just have a few questons;
I am currently reading 'Emma'.. will I have to read it again in July-August?
also I didn't realy have time to read 'sense and sensibility' in January-February.. is it okay if I still read it and get along with the challenge?
You don't need to reread Emma in July & August. You can just link up your review when I do the Emma linkup in August. You can read S&S whenever you want or not at all. This is a very casual read-along. :)
JA is awesome.....I haven't read her books in a while, but I love the idea of this challenge....when I have caught up with getting my latest book out there, I am getting back to writing. Honest :D
