Are you participating in Becky's 2008 Jane Austen mini-challenge? Want to share your thoughts on what you've read or watched? Please let me know how you're doing! Leave a comment with your thoughts or a link to a post with your thoughts.
How am I doing? Well, I've seen all the PBS Austen movies. And I've read Persuasion, Northanger Abbey, and Sense & Sensibility. I've posted thoughts on those three. And I've also posted my thoughts on Mansfield Park the movie. I did a post in January on my thoughts of the first three movies: Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and Northanger Abbey. I haven't posted on the movies Emma, Pride and Prejudice, or Sense and Sensibility yet. Blogging books is familiar and natural. I'm not used to blogging movies yet, even if they are based on books.
Your progress:
Chris' review of Mansfield Park.
Melissa's review of Mansfield Park.
It's NOT too late to join the challenge. The challenge ends December 31, 2008. There is still plenty of time to participate.

Count me in! I've read 3 so far and watched all but Sense and Sensibility.
I'm moving very slowly (I'll probably take the whole year...). I've read Northanger Abbey, and I'm halfway through Mansfield Park (another "delightfully pleasant yet sluggishly dull" novel... love that phrase!). I've watched Northanger Abbey (loved it!) and I'm going to watch the 1999 version of Mansfield Park when I finish the book (I'm staying away from the new one. No one seemed to like it.)
I gave up on Mansfield Park. Does that make me bad?! Anyway, I do recommend the 1999 version. I thought the actress who was playing Fanny did a wonderful job in bringing to life not Austen's character but a likable, spunky character that would be worth reading about! The new one was just painful to the eyes. Though dad seemed to like it for some reason. I think he was just doing it to be contrary.
Just reviewed Mansfield Park:

This was take 2 for this one for me. I made it through.
