Jane Austen Giveaway Hop (INT)

This hop is hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer & vvb32reads. The complete linky list is here. :)

You may not know this, but I LOVE Jane Austen's work. All her books are amazing in their own way and I just love love love them. I mean my alias is "Jane" so that gives a little hint of my obsession. So I love reading her books over and over, and I am pretty sure they are all FREE on Amazon Kindle shopping, so I can't really give any of them away. (But you should go download them all now.)

Since it's international and shipping is pricey, I am going to giveaway an e-book of ANY retelling/spin-off/modernization/anything relating to Jane Austen or her books. There's a handful out there. I'll put some ideas down below, but if you know of others, you can request it if you win. :) Good luck and enter in the Rafflecopter form!







Here are some Goodreads lists I found: (didn't check e-book availability for everything though.)

For formatting, I can look on B&N, Amazon, or others, depending on where they're available (country) and which device you use. I'll try my best. :)

Happy reading!

    I love, love, love Jane Austen. I can't choose a favorite book...I love them all! I think my favorite movie adaptation would be Sense & Sensibility with Emma Thompson & Kate Winslet.

    I'm so happy to read about what you enjoy. I love Austen as well. Persuasion is my favorite book. However, my favorite adaptation of one of her books is the '95 Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice. There are too many inaccuracies for the most recent of the novels made into movies. I did enjoy Rupert Penry Jones version of Persuasion but there were 3 or 4 parts that just make me ill and anne's friend Ms. Smith isn't even done well at all. I haven't read "Midnight in Austenland" and I'd love to.

      Forgive my impertinence as I commented before clicking the form. I watched most of the Jane Austen adaptations especially filmed within the past 20 years or so and I love them all. I adore Pride and Prejudice and love Persuasion so those two books are my favourites.

    I love Austen and will read almost any Austen-inspired story I can get my hands on. P&P is my favorite novel and the 95 Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle movie is my favorite adaptation. I also love the S&S movie with Emma Thompson.
