My idea of good company, is the company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.

Would you like to have a share of the conversation? Or found any mistakes that need correcting? It would be very much appreciated if you leave a comment. Thank you for taking the time to visit My Love for Jane Austen.

Thank you, Lúthien84, for participating in my blog tour and for allowing me to be your guest today. Shakespeare says " A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Have you heard of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries which debuted on the web a couple of months ago?

After my colleague recommend me to try Maria Hamilton's debut novel, I made up my mind to read it next.
