Update: My Everything Austen Challenge completed list
As I blogged way back in July, I entered The Everything Austen Challenge hosted by Stephanie's Written Word which officially ended on 31st December 2009. This is an updated post on the progress of this challenge and needless to say that I have completed all 12 books and movies/miniseries which I set myself to do although the list is slightly different than my original list. Below is a summary of my original list and the updated tasks I have accomplished:
Books
1. Mr. Darcy's Diary (UK) aka The Private Diary of Mr. Darcy (US) by Maya Slater -> complete
2. Lydia Bennet's Story by Jane Odiwe -> did not attempt
3. The Darcys & The Bingleys by Marsha Altman -> did not attempt
4. The Plight of the Darcy Brothers by Marsha Altman -> did not attempt
5. Colonel Brandon's Diary by Amanda Grange -> complete
6. Impulse & Initiative by Abigail Reynolds -> did not attempt
7, Prada and Prejudice by Mandy Hubbard -> complete
8. Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler (companion book of 'Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict which I read in 2008) -> complete
9. Pemberley by the Sea: A Modern love story, Pride and Prejudice style by Abigail Reynolds -> complete
10. Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange -> complete
11. Dancing with Mr Darcy: Stories Inspired by Jane Austen by Sarah Waters -> complete
12. The Wit and Wisdom of Jane Austen: Quotes From Her Novels, Letters, and Diaries by Jane Austen and Dominique Enright -> complete
13. Jane Austen: The World of Her Novels by Deirdre Le Faye -> complete
Miniseries/DVD
1. Sense & Sensibility (2008) -> did not attempt
2. Lost in Austen (2008) -> complete
3. Persuasion (2007) -> did not attempt
4. Pride & Prejudice (1995) -> did not attempt
5. Bride & Prejudice (2005) -> complete
6. Emma (2009) -> complete
As you can see, I have already completed my challenge with 9 books and 3 movies/miniseries. However, I was not able to write a review for each of the tasks that I have completed. Blame me for being lazy, spending my time on other stuff and having the initiative to write creatively like other bloggers but for myself, I'm very satisfied with my progress.
I hope in future, I will have time to enter this type of challenge and write wonderful reviews of it.
