From now on, I'm going to post for this Challenge on MY JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB.
This month I'm re-reading Northanger Abbey for my reading group at the library, or MY JA BOOK CLUB, in order to be ready for our meeting on 27th February. Since I'm going to post about NA from time to time till the end of the month, I'll consider all the posting work part of this challenge. Then of course, I'll go on with the other major novels and, finally, I have to choose some Austen-based books and ... my list is done. Let's say I'll try to take part for the Lover level . Here's my first post for this challenge : NORTHANGER ABBEY: A FEMINIST NOVEL? TROUBLED PUBLICATION & QUIZZES
2. I GOT A NEW BOOK SIGNED BY THE WRITER
This could be the first book in the list for this challenge among the re-writes, sequels, Austen - based fiction. Yesterday I found Carrie Bebris "The Intrigue at Highbury" in my mail box, with a dedication of the author, a kind note by the same in Italian (!!!) on a lovely Pemberley card, some leaflets showing all her works published by TEA in Italy. GREAT!!! I was so happy! I had won this copy of the book at Stephanie's Written Word some time ago.

Hey, thanks Maria!! I can't believe all the stuff you do on your blog! I'm such a slacker compared to you!!
How exciting to have a signed copy of the book and how kind of the author to write her comments in Italian!
Thank you so much for the award Maria! :) I'm designing a special page for it.
Thank you so much MG! I wish I could be a prolific blogger as you are! Oh, how much I wanted to enter in all those challenges, but this year I won't have enough time! And it is so nice the author wrote in Italian!
Congrats on the award and thanks for passing it along to me :)
I love the image--only wish my office was that tidy!
Thank you so much Maria, you are too kind. I am greatly honored and most undeserving. I am so happy for you ad your signed copy of The Intrigue at Highbury. I plan on reading it soon too and look forward to sharing thoughts with you about it!
Congrats to the other winners!!
