In celebration of Jane Austen's birthday on December 16th, Penguin USA will use the Twitter hashtag #AustenAddiction, following Penguin Australia's idea, and will promote our Austen titles, do a giveaway, link to online video and radio segments and any relevant pop culture tidbits through the day.

In an annual tradition, JASNA has published it's Winter 2009 issue of Persuasions online. Enjoy!

Be sure to leave a comment of good wishes and congratulations at each blog to build the momentum.

Happy b-day dear Jane!

Cheers, Laurel Ann, Austenprose

  8. Thanks for the heads up. I'm a day late but I sent in a belated birthday wish in a JA fan fiction forum. We all missed it there.

    Really Angelic

  9. Jane and I are born on the same day, some 200+ years apart, of course! Nonetheless, I feel special for that reason. Silly. Of course. I like to be silly some times!

    I enjoy your blog very much! Thank you!

    Where is Lori Smith? Does anyone know? I just found her book and her site. Nothing more current that 2008.
