I am off on my tour then 🙂
Oh! A tour! How delightful ;D
Lovely, I’ve always wanted to go on an Austenesque tour! 😀
I am loving these tours!
Such a delight. Karen always has amusing antidotes.
Mitzi is very witty in whatever she does.
Best of all, more Tilney loving thanks to Margaret Sullivan. Woo hoo!
Yea! It’s going to be a fun month.
Thank you for inviting me on the tour. It’s very nice to meet new friends and visit new scenery(blogs).
Loved the real housewives sequence!
I’m off! 🙂
This has been an amazing tour :o)
ps: I did say on my form that some comments would be under ‘RivkaBelle’, right? I just remembered that’s how I signed my comment to Tilney, hehe
I SO enjoyed Margaret Sullivan’s witty Austenblog about Mr. Tilney! Here was my comment on her blog:
My dear Mr. Tilney,
It was a true delight to peruse your replies to Miss Sullivan’s questions. My favorite questions (due entirely to your engaging answers) are “Have you ever been in love” and the ever-fascinating boxers vs. briefs issue. Please express my sincerest appreciation to Miss Sullivan for hosting this event, and thank you so much for taking the time to fill out the questionnaire!
Mr. Tilney, I greatly value your opinions, particularly with regard to literature. There are so many books and so little time, I look to you for advice as to what I should read, and what I ought to avoid. Therefore, my questions for you are: Which are your two favorite novels, and why? Is there a book that you violently detest, and if so, what is it and why? Have you ever considered writing a book yourself, and if so, what would it be about? Thank you ever so, and I look forward to your reply.
All best wishes,
Syrie James
This was fun, the perfect way for me to unwind after work. Karen’s characters always crack me up.
I loved all three, but my favorite was Margaret’s post showing Tilney some love! It made me in the mood for Northanger Abbey!
The tour was interesting to say the least. I loved getting to know Tilney better. I must admit I’m not terribly enthused with the thought of immorality running rampant that Ms. Szereto’s book seems to indicate (go ahead and call me a prude). The Real Housewives of Derbyshire is the first Real Housewives experience of any sort that I’ve ever had, and I’m pretty sure any of the rest couldn’t live up to it.
It’s been a good Thursday.
Meredith, this is a brilliant idea! I’m off to pack my tooth brush for the tour.
Well that was quite a jaunt. I loved the Tilney questions. Great idea.
I am totally LOVING this!!! I can’t wait for each new day to get here so I can check out what’s new in the Extravaganza!!
Wow ! I’m so impressed. I can tell this will be a busy month of Austen. Thank you for the tour!
My favourite blog tour is Karen V. Wasylowski’s 🙂
Meredith, this is so much fun! I’m off to explore some new sites!!
this day’s tour has held me with side splitting laughs! o my goodness this has been FuN!!
thank you! and congrats to you, Meredith, for organizing a winning day ~
Loving the tours, great idea
Yea tours!!! Gotta love ’em! 🙂
Hee hee, thank you so much for sharing these posts! Karen’s especially had me giggling. 🙂
More adventure coming my way!
Just back from my wonderful tour. I enjoy all the posts, such a mixture of fun. Outstanding post is Karen’s David Frost interview. And Mags with her delectable hero Mr Tilney.
I’d read Mag’s post about Henry, but based on everyone’s comments, I also read Karen’s post and loved it!
