Top 10 Books Which Feature Characters Who Are Linked to Jane Austen!
Those of you who visit this blog more often will know that I'm a big Jane Austen fan. She's one of my favourite authors of all time and I love picking up books that are even in the smallest way connected to her or her novels. So, for today's Top Ten Tuesday I decided to go with 10 books that feature characters that are in one way or another linked to Jane; whether they are fans of her work or looking for their own Mr. Darcy... Books which any Austen fan should definitely pick up! :)
1. Victoria Connelly - 'A Weekend With Mr. Darcy'
Victoria Connelly's 'Austen Addicts' series is quite simply a must-read series for any Austen fan! I love Victoria's writing style and 'A Weekend With Mr. Darcy' is still one of my favourite Austen-inspired books!
2. Karen Joy Fowler - 'The Jane Austen Book Club'
One of the most well-known Austen-inspired novels that was also turned into a film in 2007.
3. Shannon Hale - 'Austenland'
I love 'Austenland'; such a fun look at Austen's novels and the time she lived in. The book was also turned into a great film which is perfect for romantic comedy fans, even if you're not an Austen fan.
4. Syrie James - 'The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen'
A novel in which Jane's hidden memoirs are found after hundreds of years and we finally get to discover what her life was like exactly... Loved it!
5. Kim Izzo - 'The Jane Austen Marriage Manual'
I really enjoy Kim Izzo's work and 'The Jane Austen Marriage Manual' combines two of the things I love: her writing style and Jane; another fabulous Austen-inspired read!
6. Marilyn Brant - 'According to Jane'
Another entertaining read in which the main character is suddenly stuck with the voice of Jane Austen in her head.
7. Alexandra Potter - 'Me and Mr. Darcy'
A thoroughly enjoyable chick lit read in which the main character goes on a guided tour of Jane Austen country.
8. Laurie Viera Rigler - 'Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict'
The first part of Laurie Viera Rigler's Austen-inspired novels, 'Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict' is such a fun read, and I highly recommend the second part, 'Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict' as well!
9. Mary Lydon Simonsen - 'Searching for Pemberley'
Three love stories set at different times, with a link to Jane Austen... And a stunning book cover!
10. Melissa Nathan - 'Acting Up'
Another great chick lit read which focuses on a journalist who is asked to play the role of Elizabeth in a Pride and Prejudice play. A fantastic read!
Great list, I always love discovering new Austen tied novels and you've put a few on my to read pile! Absolutely adore Shannon Hale's "Austenland", but loved the follow up "Midnight in Austenland" even more!
