Thank you! I love Travelling Tuesdays.
Setting off…
I love Alexa Adams tour of her ‘hood with her daughter – much more interesting neighborhood than mine!!
I just took Jennifer Becton’s quiz and got Kitty Bennet. That sounds about right as I tend to be a follower and not a leader! Fun times!
Is Jack Caldwell’s link gonna be up later? Thanks for the other links–yay!
😀 Fun, I am gonna go right now
I took Jennifer Becton’s quiz and got Charlotte Lucas/Collins. I’m not too sure! But I am practical like her.
I tried to comment at Sylvia Chan’s, but it wasn’t accepted, so this is for her. What a lovely site! Thank you for categorizing the various JA books and giving great examples. I’ve read some of them but certainly not all. My to-read list is growing.
Fun…I love Traveling Tuesday!!=)
Wonderful tour! Can’t believe we are almost at the end!
As always, a great tour. There was so much to look at. I was literally holding my head for a minute trying to take in all the Austen awesomeness. I love it.
Oh, my! Barbara’s short story was too funny!
I wasn’t able to post a comment on Barbara’s blog but her story is hilarious! Just what I needed after a stressful day at work. Thank you Barbara 🙂
Another wonderful traveling Tuesday!
I just bought Pemberly Ranch at Borders at their closeout sale. Can’t wait to read it!
Too bad the link to Jack’s blog isn’t working. He’s quite a character; his posts on AustenAuthors always make me laugh and Pemberley Ranch is a great book. Southern rancher Darcy…mmm…lol 🙂
So much fun. I am anxiously awaiting Jennifer Bectons Caroline Bingley book. I took her quiz and I got Charlotte Lucas, which I don’t think is very far off. =D I am a BIT more romantic than she is though…LOL
Away I go! 🙂
I already read Alexa and Jennifer. I enjoyed Jack’s book tremendously. More than i thought I would and I’m not sure why that is. Sylvia’s site was very nice. I loved the definitions and examples she gave. I also couldn’t leave a comment on it. I took Jennifer’s quiz and ended up a Kitty. It could have been much worse I’m sure. Alexa and the baby aw how sweet. I loved that tour of the neighborhood. I don’t overly care for sexy books so I couldn’t complete reading the other short story. Just too much for me. smiles. I loved the journey. Thanks Meredith. The month has gone well I hope for you. Tho’ long I’m sure. suzan
Jan Hahn, it’s me Sylvia. Is there an error message when you comment on my post? I didn’t know about it. All comments on my posts are moderated. Anyway, thanks for the comment.
Except for Jack Caldwell’s post and mine, I’ve been to all the others. I enjoy Barbara’s short story but didn’t think I’m a Chorlotte Collins at Jennifer’s blog. I wish I could take a walk around my neighbourhood and visit JA characters everyday but I can do so with Alexa and her daughter.
I wish Jack Caldwell’s post was up. I he is quite entertaining! Again, it was another great Traveling Tuesday! Thanks, Meredith! 🙂
a bit winded from my walk with alexa this morning! but we’re waiting on tea & have just put our feet up ~ should be revived momentarily… “”)
i actually hold JA in esteem with highest regard, so found Barbara’s post an affront to JA
FuN with Jennifer and her secondary characters “)
more fun taking the quiz a second time with Sylvia!
sorry there wasn’t a posting from Jack!
did try checking his own site, but nothing avlbl
Sylvia, I couldn’t post on your site because it wouldn’t accept my Google account. I tried three times and then even made a new account, but it still wouldn’t go through. The same thing happened at this site, so I used Name/URL, but I didn’t see that option on your site. I am somewhat techno-challenged; thus, it may be something I’m doing wrong.
Enjoyed visiting all the sites…
Laughed at Mr Caldwell and his dog analogy
I am Kitty Bennet in the quiz…not a bad likeness.

Charlotte Lucas here…. that was fun! Looks like a few of us are Charlotte in our alternate universe!
These were great sites to visit! I will be sad when August ends, as this has been a most pleasant diversion of our ordinary, daily existence!
Thanks again, Meredith, for putting all of this together!
Jan Hahn: I see. I remember I have that problem last time on Internet Explorer but I have not encounter this problem in Firefox. If that’s the case, I’ll change the settings so that anyone can comment on using Name/URL like you did on this site. Thank you for alerting me about your problem.
I visited Jack Caldwell’s post a few days back. I have never kept a pet before so am not familiar with dog’s breed. Nevertheless, I enjoyed his hilarious post. This wraps up my virtual travels.
I loved Jack Caldwell’s post. I totally agree with his choices.
Thank you so much for sharing all of the great posts! There is something for everyone. 🙂
I took the minor characters quiz and turned out to Mary Bennet…oh well, back to my practicing! 😉 but really, Meredith, I’m so impressed at your ability to pull all these key Austensque persons together for the month! THANKS!!!
