It’s time for another Bloggy Giveaways Carnival, and I’m hosting a series of Jane Austen-themed giveaways. If that’s right up your proverbial alley, subscribe to my feed to find out about additional contests this week!
(My second giveaway, two Jane Austen audio books, and my third giveaway, the A&E Pride and Prejudice 10th Anniversary Edition DVD Set are posted now, too.)
Tony, my contact at Sourcebooks, has sent me children’s books to review; being a Jane Austen fan, I couldn’t help but notice the extensive collection of Austen sequels that they publish. As a matter of fact, the folks at Sourcebooks are such Austen fans that they created the site Austenfans.com out of love and admiration for Jane Austen’s life and works.
I not only received two Austen sequels, but two to giveaway to a lucky reader, too!
First, is The Pemberley Chronicles: “The weddings are over, the saga begins.”
Second, is Women of Pemberley: “The Women of Pemberley follows the lives of five women, some from the beloved works of Jane Austen, some new from the author’s imagination, into a new era of post industrial revolution England, at the start of the Victorian Age.”
How do you win?
Leave a comment to enter, telling us something about why you love Jane and which book is your favorite!
Winner will be chosen randomly from comments on Friday. This contest is open to both bloggers and non-bloggers, but please use a valid email address when leaving your comment in order to be contacted.

Oops, forgive my double posting. I didn’t see my first post appear until after I had posted the second!
I love, love, love Jane Austen!!!!! I think her story of her own love life is my favorite story of hers because it sets the tones and reasoning behind her books/novels she has created! My favorite character is Elizabeth Bennet, because she has spunk and lots of character! Pick me please, this is a dream package!! I hope I win!

Oh, what is not to love about Jane? I find her books fascinating for the restraint the characters (mostly) show during times of high emotion.
I have to say Emma! Love the characters! Thanks so much, my friends and I will all share these!
It’s really hard to pick a favorite! I love them all except for Northanger Abbey. I wonder if that could possibly be anyone’s favorite? I admit to a soft spot for Persuasion. The quiet suffering, the forebearance, and ultimate happiness long after anyone had dared to think it possible…
I love Austen’s writing style – it stand out. My favorite is Persuasion. Thanks for the giveaway!

Pride & Prejudice is my favorite because honestly I haven’t read any of the others.
I would love to win this giveaway! My daughter and I both love Pride and Prejudice for the humor and life in the Bennett household. We also love their clothing and lovely dresses.
Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!

Oh, I would love to win this!! Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book. One of the reasons I love Jane so much is because I joined an e-mail group when I was 14 years old, doing a group read of P&P and met a bunch of fantastic girls with whom I am still friends 11 years later! We were all teenagers then and formed our friendship around Jane, but now we are grown women who still love Jane… and though our paths have taken us in many different directions, we’re still connected in ways we would never have been if not for Miss Austen!
Thanks for the chance to win! :-)
I heard so much about Jane’s books, but I never had the chance to read any. Maybe this is my chance…
I love Jane Austin because her novels are timeless. Just change the settings and most of these stories could be happening today. My favorite Jane Austin book is Emma. Thanks for this great giveaway!
I love all of Jane Austen’s works, but in particular, Pride & Prejudice. The A&E series is perfect, but I’ve enjoyed the different approaches in some of the other productions also – the scenery and realistic approach in the recent movie with Keira Knightly was great!
my fave JA book is Emma… totally timeless!!
thanks for the chance to win ;)

I love Jane’s wicked sense of humor! And my favorite is Emma and her dear Mr. Knightley.
This is AMAZING! YOU’RE amazing!
I love Jane’s humor! I love Northanger Abbey because Catherine Moreland is so lively with her daydreams of seduction!
irrelevantheart (at) gmail (dot) com !! Thank you!
I love her romantic language! Pride & Prejudice is definitely my favorite!
My favorite would have to be Pride and Prejudice.
I like that she writes so that men can enjoy it too. I like that her romances aren’t cheesy. I love JANE!! cookiecutter72 AT hotmail dot com
