I was thinking about you today - I'm reading the new Jane Austen biography coming out from Houghton Mifflin. I got an ecopy from NetGalley :)

New Austen bio? Do tell! Is it good so far? *rushes off to see what it is*

It's for YA (grade 7 and up) which is why I chose it; I needed a biography for my YA lit class. So far it's pretty good, interesting, and it has pics of some of her letters. It's called Jane Austen: A Life Revealed, but Catharine Reef. I don't think it's been released yet.

I love one click on amazon. Just ordered it. I love he books, most especially The Spanish Bride and The Grand Sophy, and and,...

This isn't a Heyer book, of course, but it's so cool to have all that background information in one volume.

That looks like so much fun! I'm going to go look for it right now.

Did you ever see the "Regency House Party" series on PBS? It was kind of awesome.

I missed that series when it was on. I will have to look for it online or on DVD one of these days!

I love this book! It's one of the ones on my go-to research shelves and has been since early in my drafting of the first Kat novel.

I saw that it came out first in the U.K. (with a different cover). Lucky girl!

Sounds like there are quite a lot of interesting presentations at that conference!
