Austen(esque)

If you have followed this blog at all you are aware of my fanboy love for Jane Austen. If you are not aware of this click the link for the January 2013 Pride and Prejudice below and you’ll get a taste of it. This does, unfortunately or not, extend to enjoying a lot of what I consider Austen fan-fiction in books, films and TV shows. The lists below are not complete. They are only the books that I have read in the past or have some intention of reading in the future. At some point I may come back and add the television shows and movies. Special thanks to AustenProse, since I guess that’s where I probably first saw the name Austenesque.
