Seen on the Blogosphere: Twitteriffic!

Gentle readers, As we announced in our previous post, Laurel Ann and I have been twittering away. As we explore ways to conduct tweetversations with our readers and each other we'd like to direct you to a few twitteriffic sites:

Irreverent and funny, Under the Mad Hat posted Pride and Twitterverse. Some of the tweets go beyond the bounds of propriety but they are tweetlarious and follow the plot, well, sort of. This is as witty a treatment, or should I say tweetment, of P&P that I've read.

Laurie Viera Rigler is tweeterizing Persuasion. Read her ongoing tweet takes on the Elliots here.

Joseph Woodard embarked on a quest to read Jane Austen this year. His blog, Reading Jane Austen, discusses her novels and his thoughts about them, and his tweetnouncements remind his followers when he's published a new post. Very clever.

Another source for twitter tweetments and tweetnouncements is

Tweeting Pride and Prejudice

I met an editor once who asked me to sum up my novel in a one sentence statement. I was speechless. Had the question been posed to me after I joined Twitter, I might have made a quicker, more successful rejoinder, like this succinct summary of P&P:

Pride and Prejudice

janeausten: Woman meets man called Darcy who seems horrible. He turns out to be nice really. They get together.

Can you sum up Jane's other novels with equal brevity and wit?
