My Top Five Weekly Finds Online

I know not everyone is into social media so you've missed out on some of the great things I've been sharing. There is a lot of great Jane Austen related material out on the Internet and I've been lucky enough to get emerged into it all. So I will be posting a blog every week of my top five picks that I have shared through out the week.

  1. There is this great website called inReads that's is trying to bring the social media culture and reading together. - Remixing Jane Austen – http://tinyurl.com/4xyjnhd

  2. Do you remember Mad Libs? If so you have to try out this Pride & Prejudice “Mad Libs” app by Angie Knoll - http://tinyurl.com/3mb2wov

  3. Georgiana Darcy needed help finding a mate so she went on The Dating Game! Who is your favorite? http://tinyurl.com/3vcjfmn

  4. Pride and Prejudice the musical is coming to Broadway for the New York Musical Theater Festival and they shared this story - Isn't Love Wonderful? A soldier's perspective on Pride and Prejudice http://tinyurl.com/45x7qor

  5. My last pick is something unique. If you haven't heard of Esty it's the online equivalent of a craft show. There is a ton of great Jane Austen and Regency inspired designs and art work on the site and this is my newest find. A Jane Austen print on a recycled dictionary page http://tinyurl.com/3nsq9lf

I participated in the #austenesque Twitter Party and got to talk to some really terrific Austenesque fans and authors. The Twitter Party was a fast paced conversation with many different topics and it was a struggle to keep up with it all. I talked briefly about Captain Wentworth (my new found favorite Austen hero). There was a discussion about a two different Col. Fitzwilliam stories coming out and about a duel between them both. There was also a thought provoking discussion about Col. Brandon and his seriousness, his age compared to Marianne and whether or not he would have been better suited for Elinor.

I also wrote down a list of books that I shared on Twitter on Tuesday. Here's the list:
  • His Good Opinion by Nancy Kelley http://t.co/G10e0GR

  • The Companion of Lady Holmeshire by Debra Brown http://t.co/kGiY5qU

  • The Unexpected Miss Bennet by Patrice Sarath http://t.co/Hne4ueG

  • Definitely Not Mr. Darcy by Karen Doornebos http://t.co/cK7nfDt

  • Rainy Days and Remembrance of the Past both titles by Lory Lilian http://t.co/Tlz9xuX

  • Nachtstürm Castle ~ A Gothic Austen Novel by Emily C. A. Snyder http://t.co/5kL6b58
