For this event we enjoy some fun and frivolity with Austenesque themed quizzes and games.
TODAY’S GAME: Austen-Inspired Heroine Quiz!
I thought it might be fun for us to take this little personality quiz to see which Austen-Addict or Austen-Inspired Heroine we all most resemble! Many thanks to Angie Kroll who brilliantly knew how to make this quiz on ProProfs.com! And big hugs to my authors: Marilyn Brant, Karen Doornebos, Cindy Jones, and Laurie Viera Rigler! Thank you for providing the answers for your lovely characters!
Readers: Enjoy the quiz and please share with us which heroine you got!

My Result
You are an imaginative and intelligent introvert who is searching for love. In your quest for true love you have come across some Collinses and Wickhams, but hold fast to the belief that your very own Mr. Darcy is out there. With Jane Austen’s voice as your guide, you know you will one day find your own perfect union.

Thank you to all who have contributed to making this fun quiz. I sure enjoy answering these questions although it some answers may not totally reflect me. My result is Lily Berry from My Jane Austen Summer which I believe have some common characteristics with the heroine.
Blodeuedd, so you are Ellie Barnett?
My result was the Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict. Seems like I need to go to the library and get a new book to read for this weekend. Thank you!!
What a fun quiz and great way to start the morning! My results were Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict and it sounded just like me! I love that book!=)
My result was According to Jane. I will add that to my TBR list!
The result was “My Jane Austen Summer” !!! Going to have to bump that up on the reading list!
Great quiz! Thank you Meredith and Angie (you rock)!!
Here is my result: Lily Berry
Romantic at heart, your passion for books is exceeded only by your desire to love and be loved by the one person in the cosmos who appreciates the real you. Engaging the world is hard work but you are determined to be the heroine of your own life story.
I agree with the descriptions. Although, if I truly an Lily, lord help me if I stalked and dorve by my ex’s house, and I want to end up with Willis (I liked him)! 🙂
I’m Lilly Berry – I think I’m going to have to go pick up this book now!
Me too!

I am…
Courtney Stone from Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler!
As much as your dream is to live the life of a perfect lady in Jane Austen’s world you are also quite fond of being a free-spirited modern girl who gets to choose her own path. Your approach to relationships also has a foot in two worlds: You pride yourself on being sassy and independent, yet you are an all-or- nothing romantic with a vulnerable heart.
Yep, that is definitely me!
I’m Courtney from Confessions, too. Yeah, that sounds about right.
Thanks for the fun quiz.
Debbie
I’m Jane Mansfield! Can’t wait to read the book!
I am Jane Mansfield too! Funny, I didn’t really feel for her character too much but now that i think about it we are very alike.
I’ll be a Chloe Parker from Definitely Not Mr. Darcy.
Interesting, I can’t say if it’s accurate cause I haven’t read the book yet, but I’m excited!
Thanks for an enjoyable quiz!
I’m Jane Mansfield from “Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict,” a character I liked very much when I read the book.
I am Ellie Barnett for According to Jane. Okay I have to read it now! I loved this quiz! the best yet! Thanks!
I’m Jane Mansfield. Looks like I better read more about myself!
Fun Quiz! Thank you for all your hard work to put it together!
I got Jane Mansfield from Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict! This was very fun! Thanks all for putting it together 🙂
I am Jane Mansfield from Rude Awakening of a Jane Austen Addict, also! Lol! Thanks for putting together that quiz. It must have been a lot of work. I had fun taking it!
That was FUN! Here’s mine:
My Result
You are Jane Mansfield from Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler!
You long for a simpler time of horse-drawn carriages, assembly balls, and propriety, and at times you feel a bit out of place in our chaotic, overly wired world. Yet you are steadfast in your belief that true love is alive and well in the 21st century, and so is the perfect gentleman, even if he’s not wearing a coat and a cravat (though you wish he would).
Wow!!! Looks like quite a few of us are “Jane Mansfield”!! LOL
It was great fun taking your quiz. I’m delighted to discover that I am most like Laurie’s character Jane in RAOAJAA, since it is true that I long to live in a Jane Austen novel! Probably explains why I write novels about 19th century England and “as” Jane Austen!
I’m Courtney Stone. heehee
Suzan
I am Chloe Parker and I love the description of her. It really fits me! 😀
My Result
You are Chloe Parker, also known as “Miss Parker” from DEFINITELY NOT MR. DARCY by Karen Doornebos.
You are a life member of the Jane Austen Society, you idealize the Regency era, and you feel as if you were born two centuries too late! Still, you are a strong woman, ready to tap into reserves you didn’t know you have to make all of your dreams come true.
LOL. I haven’t read this one yet, as it hasn’t come out yet, either, but I’m really eager to. I want to know this character of mine. ;).
Thank You for the quizz. 🙂

Good thing that book is on my shelf already. Must read it!!
I am Courtney Stone from Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler! I adore Laurie so this is cool!

Yep, that sounds a lot like me. Funny.
This was fun…and seemingly accurate! I loved ‘Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict’ and have passed it on to many friends. No wonder I am Courtney Stone!
I am very interested in reading the other novels that were referenced as well! Cannot WAIT for ‘Definitely NOT Mr. Darcy!’
Thanks for the fun quiz!
Courtney Stone!
I haven’t read the book so now I absolutely will to see if this is an accurate profile.

Cool quiz… =)
I got the following result:

Hmm… yep… waiting for Mr. Darcy… =)
More than naive and not accurate. You can do better!
Amazing! The description of me could not have been more to the point! And even though I really struggled choosing my answer to several of the question, since more than one of the options felt right.Unfortunately I have not read the book Rude Awekenings yet, and do not know the heroine Jane Mansfield,who was the result of the test. But I shall have to try to get hold of this book now – and see if there is a resemblance between her and me 🙂 My first visit to this site, and I love it! Thanks!
So I am Chloe Parker, guess that just means I need to pick up the book Definitely Not Mr. Darcy to read next
