Pride and Prejudice Bicentenary Challenge 2013

So, sue me. Another one. But read and watch Austen is something I do regularly, so doesn't seem like a stretch.

The Thing
Austenprose is hosting The Pride and Prejudice Bicentenary Challenge 2013 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of this classic novel.

Details
It runs through December 31, 2013 and has three levels of participation.

I will do the Aficionada: 9-12 selections

You can read the full details at the Austenprose blog, linked above.

My list
Not sure on what order I'll take yet, but I'll start with a reread via the audiobook, and probably aim for one a month. Some might change, if something more interesting crosses my path.

I'm so glad you've decided to take part in this one, too! I forgot about Bridget Jones' Diary being a modern-day P&P. I think I might watch that one again this year.

Good luck!

Its not my favorite, but the fight scene between Hugh and Colin makes it worth it!
