As the site says, "We publish ebooks by the gals. But much more than a simple ebook resource, Girlebooks aims to make classic and lesser-known works by female writers available to a large audience through the ebook medium."

A number of months ago Mags experienced problems with her blogging platform and had to resort to using a generic WordPress template as a temporary stopgap measure. But on its 6th year anniversary, her blog has re-emerged to look simply splendid. Her cluebat sits front and center.
Congratulations, Mags, queen of the Jane Austen blogs. Love, LOVE, LOOVE!!! that pink.
Austenblog, I hail thee as the blog that lit the dark way through the unformed miasma of the 2004 blogosphere and showed other Janeites with a PC or Mac how to follow, for you have been around longer than most of us. You, oh, Margaret Sullivan, with thy sharp wit, keen knowledge of all things Austen, and minions who comment on your posts with a wit almost as sharp as yours. You, who wrote that informative The Jane Austen Handbook for the Jane Austen fan and There Must Be Murder for Jane Austen Centre Magazine. You, who noticed my iddy biddy blog way back in 2006 and pointed people my way (thank you so much) and add so much to our perception of Jane Austen on a regular basis - I curtsy to you and make my bow.
