And then I stumbled on another one a few months ago. I have decided I am definitely a fan!

If you haven't already, you should read "Sanditon: A Novel by Jane Austen and Another Lady" (I think the paperback edition might be called "Sanditon: Jane Austen's Last Novel Completed"). I'm usually too much of a purist to enjoy sequels or fragments finished, but I loved this one.

The close thing I've read is that Austenland book we read for book club a few years ago. Can I still be entered?

I'd have to say I love Pride and Prejudice–but it's hard to pick just one Austen book!

Enter me in the contest!

And considering that the "formal Regency" period was all of NINE YEARS LONG, I assume the genre covers a bit more than that. Still, I believe it's only until about 1837. After that we have the Victorian era, and I have to say, most of the books I love were written in that time period, although they may take place in Regency England.

So anyway, my favorite novel, which was written closer to the middle of the 19th century, is Charlotte Bronte's Villette. But I have a thousand that I love. I just love the era. (Regency too). Good stuff.

I will have to try both of these books. I can't wait!!
