Pride & Prejudice Links & Reminder

2014 Jane Austen Challenge
 
Ooop! Guess who forgot to hit publish? Sorry this is late!

In one month, it will be time for everyone to post their comments and reviews of Pride & Prejudice for the 2014 Jane Austen Challenge! I will post my review of Pride & Prejudice on April 30th, and there will be a linky for your posts. 

In order to inspire folks and to get you excited about the book, if you haven't read it yet, I have found some great book-related links. 
Enjoy the links and then get reading! :)


You can probably get copies of the book or audiobook at your local library (either in the building or on their website too). My library has three different copies of the audiobook. I listened to the audiobook for Pride & Prejudice, and I think it made the reading experience much more enjoyable.

Need an adaptation or more stories in the world of Pride & Prejudice?


My personal favorite adaptation is the recent Lizzie Bennet Diaries on YouTube (this playlist has ALL the videos & in the right order). Ooooh! I just found a list of all of the videos in the right order PLUS (!) links to all of the Twitter and Tumblr posts too on the Lizzie Bennet Diaries website. I think it is a very clever modern adaptation.

Ides of March Read-a-Thon Wrap Up

Ides of March Read-a-thon

The Caffeinated Book Reviewer's Ides of March Read-a-Thon is done, and I did not do too well (I think I took too much on this month!). This is for two main reasons. One, life took priority over reading. I know! This is awful, but it is true. Second, I got pulled into Words of Radiance, but I didn't finish it. I am loving WoR, but I don't want to read it too fast. I want to let in all soak in. :)
