Thanks for having a giveaway! I would love to win some audiobooks! Pride & Prejudice would be wonderful to own – although any of her books would be super to have on audiobook! Jane Austen is such a great author.
I posted a link to this giveaway on my blog: http://trishtheconqueror.wordpress.com/2008/07/29/bloggy-giveaways-carnival/

I’ve always wanted to read Jane Austen however I rarely stop long enough to read a book as of late. Jane Austen has been at the top os my to do list it seems like forever but I would have to lean on your recommendation on which one to listen too first.

I would love to win Sense and Sensibility.
Nancy on August 1, 2008 at 8:05 am

I would choose Emma. It’s my favorite and I have a hard time listening to audio books, so a story that I’m super familiar with would be good. But I would love to win it! It would be great on car trips or maybe even on my MP3 player in the gym!
