Ok — the totally by accident option really made me LOL Vic! If I put up such a poll on my blog, I know that fate would hand me such honest readers! Just kidding! *wink* *wink*

I’m a regular visitor who found this great blog by accident, and who also happens to be a history buff who likes to read everything about Jane Austen :D

I’m a Regency author and love all things Jane Austen. I find the time period fascinating. Check out my website of resources for Regency readers and writers at http://www.joannawaugh.com and my blog about British customs and holidays at http://www.myspace.com/joannawaugh and http://www.joannawaugh.blogspot.com My novel, BLIND FORTUNE released in July from Cerridwen Press.

I think I stumbled across your blog when I was searching “Jane Austen” in Google Reader. Looked at some posts and instantly subscribed. Now I look forward to reading during my lunch!

Thank you ALL for your fabulous comments. Goodness, but I must keep blogging about JA! So many of you are regular visitors that I blush at the thought.

I would like a couple of dresses that are replicas of the types of dresses as seen in Jane Austen movies.
Are you able to lead me to a site where I can buy them?

thank you, Teresa

I’m writing my second Regency novel which is mainly set in Bath. I want to get everything as true to history as I can. Jane Austen’s World blog looks a marvellous place to discover things. Thank you. Laurel

Am reading Northinger Abbey and was looking for background on the various Bath venues Austen references.

Podcast Reviews: First Impressions-Why All the Austen Haters Are Wrong

In this podcast series First Impressions (59 episodes so far), hosts Kristin and Maggie hilariously discuss the brilliance of Jane Austen and how her novels give us unparalleled insight into our own lives and characters. There’s no shame in loving (and obsessively re-reading) Austen’s novels, which are just as fresh and relevant as they were 200 years ago. Kristin and Maggie are here to give a big [lady] finger to any haters who say otherwise!
