WHEN IS THIS EVENT TAKING PLACE?
– Throughout the whole month of September! EVERYDAY!
WHAT WILL THIS EVENT BE LIKE?
– It’s an Austenesque love-fest! Each day of the week has a different theme and event, like a weekly twitter party with several Austenesque authors.

I appreciate all the work that has gone into this and I’m ‘all aquiver’ to enjoy the month.
Thanks so much!
Whoohoo! I can’t believe it’s been a year since the last one. Wow did this go fast! Your member list has grown greatly. Yippeee! I’m so excited it’s begun. Daily may be a challenge but I’m gonna attempt it like last year.
Thanks for this ‘guide’ to the event, Meredith & every good wish for a great Celebration of alll things Austenesque !!
I wanted to also say “Thank you” for posting the guide, Meredith! 🙂 I wasn’t able to participate straight away like I had initially planned… but it’s a little hard to babysit & try to focus on what your reading! LOL Very excited that the Extraganza has begun – been looking forward to it ever since you announced it! Yay!! And also looking forward to becoming even MORE immersed in my love of Austen! 🙂

I am really happy about reading anything about Jane Austen and this is really a wonderful opportunity to find all I am interested in here.
Ahhh, my e-mail is zora.brozina(at)gmail.com
aaah the schedule, this would have been helpful to have seen earlier…clearly I need to pay better attention!!!
I am so glad that you gave us this guide, Meredith! I haven’t been able to participate every day but now I can go back (much easier) and look at what I have missed.
You have done a fantastic job with this all month. I admire your efforts! Thanks for all the fun!
