Jane

[close] Welcome to the online Book Club to supplement our Jane Austen Book Challenge! I thought it would be fun to have a place to post some of our favorite stuff, links to anything cool we find, and discuss if we want to watch the movie adaptions after the books or not! This will also allow us to see where everyone is at within the challenge, so that hopefully we all stay relatively close to each other. The goal is to have all the original books read before 2018 ends!

[close] a group for Jane Austen lovers, with roleplay, and stories, contests poles, and more!

[close] Do you love mysteries written in the "English" style? Why not come and join us? We are an established group of mystery readers, which has just re-launched in 2020. We read and share about every sort of English mystery, and have an optional group read once a month. We read from the "Golden Age" novels of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers to the "cosy mysteries" of Simon Brett; through series and stand-alone quick to read "whodunits", to bang up to date modern lengthy novels, heavy on the psychology. You might prefer Ruth Rendell, P.D. James, Colin Dexter, or Kate Atkinson ... or a myriad of others. Or perhaps you like the classic 19th century mysteries by Wilkie Collins or featuring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes? Whatever your personal choice, you will find fellow aficionados here. Welcome!
