OK, I've now watched Becoming Jane, love the guy who really has a Scottish accent in the leading role, I am always amazed how people take on a completely different accent in a movie, wouldnt it be easier to employ someone with the right accent?!! Interesting watching the special features, always interesting.
Today watched half of P&P (BBC production) . Last week saw the Kiera Knightly version, actually rather enjoyed it, its different to the more classical versions, but I think it worked well
Got a number of library books out this week too, amazing that there are so many titles related to Jane A, got one interesting one about a few generations of her family. Good so far.
Always took out P&P (know I have my own copy here, but where??) and Sense and Sensibility and Lady Jane, short book.
Hope everyone else is enjoying this, what a great "assignement"!!
cheers

Congrats on starting up your own blog and joining in on the Everything Austen Challenge! I hope you enjoy it!
Yes, isn't this great!?
I'm enjoying the JA challenge very much too, can't wait until you start your sampler.
Have fun stitching while watching a JA dvd.

James McAvoy IS Scottish and he is an extraordinarily good actor. I've seen him in THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND, Macbeth in the BBC SHAKESPEARE RE-TOLD, in ATONEMENT and in BECOMING JANE of course. I think he was great as Tom Lefroy. I've written about BECOMING JANE in my blogs.

I'm taking part in the EVERYTHING AUSTEN CHALLENGE too. I've read and posted about SANDITON so far. I've decided to post for the challenge only once a month. I love Stephanie's idea!
