Your enthusiasm is contagious and fun to watch it being expressed! You mentioned the bio by Lucy Worsley, who is one of my favorite historians, and video narrators. Her various videos about Jane Austen are superb, and many are available to watch on KZfaq. I also enjoyed looking at all the JA souvenirs in your collection-thanks, Katie, for a fun video.

I have that Collector's Library Editions of the 6 main books (except that my Persuasion, though it is the same size, is Oxford Pocket Edition and has no pictures). I also have my original paperbacks, by a variety of publishers, and a few nicely-bound hardbacks. My newest collection is the nice Barnes and Noble Classic Editions, that have faux-leather covers in pretty colors, and are full-size, except they haven't yet released MP or NA.

My favourite Jane Austen things that I have are little hang-up cloth dolls of Anne Eliot and Captain Wentworth, I agonised over which ones to get for ages in Chawton and now I'm just sorry I didn't just get more altogether! Also a cloth bookmark with a Persuasion quote embroidered on. I absolutely love that regency fashion mug, such a great idea.

You should try one of the many graphic novel adaptions of Jane Austen's books. Most aren't that good, but I'd recommend the version of Sense and Sensibility drawn by Sonny Liew. It's rather beautiful.

OK, now I’m motivated to finally read Lady Susan. Can’t wait! I also picked up Jane Austen, the Secret Radical by Helena Kelly. Appears it’s about political themes in her novels. Don’t get me wrong, I love the romantic story lines (doesn’t get better for me than Captain Wentworth!) but it seems there’s a lot more going on in those exquisite pages. Happy Jane Austen July to all!

You are so fortunate to have a physical copy of An Unequal Affection. It’s hard to come by in the US unless you want to spend too much money on it. I have the puzzle and a different deck of cards. Thanks for the review on Marry Mr Darcy Game . I hesitated in buying it. I think I will ask for it at Christmas. Thanks for your great content.

I have the books: Emma & Mansfield Park in the vintage classics, Pride and Prejudice in the Barnes and Noble edition, Persuasion in a Modern library edition, and Sense and Sensibility in a clothbound. I also have the Barnes and Noble leather-bound with all her 7 main works. Other books I have are Jane Austen: Her Life and Letters, The Real Jane Austen, Miss Austen, Charlotte, The Other Bennet Sister, books 1 and 2 of the Heartstone trilogy, and Tooth and Claw. I have two bookmarks with Jane Austen quotes, the same Emma adaptation you have, and P&P 2005. I have put that puzzle on my Amazon wishlist along with the Dickens one. I got a mug last year with book quotes and the quote from Pride and Prejudice is on there.

Watching your video has made me realise just how much JA stuff I have! I have so many different versions of Jane Austen novels, including graphic novels and a really old boxed set of paperbacks published by Pan. Plus a P&P paperback with a 1960's trashy novel style cover. I highly recommend the John Mullan and Lucy Worsley books you mentioned and I love Faye Weldon's Letters to Alice. I've got the Deirdre Le Faye edition of JA's letters. Among many other books I've also got 'Jane Austen, The Secret Radical' by Helena Kelly. I'd love to know what you think of it as I find some of her assertions ridiculous. I have at least one version of all of JA's works that have been filmed on video. I also have and love Lost in Austen and Austenland. Finally...., I wear a replica of her ring which my husband bought me from the JA centre in Bath.

Jane Austen July has started really well for me. I’ve re-read Persuasion, and watched the latest adaptation of it with Dakota Johnson. I’m currently re-reading Emma and will then watch the latest adaptation of that which I still have not seen. I have plenty of retelling son my shelf also. I, too love the puzzles! I have Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and the world of Dracula! I found the Dickens one the most difficult so far! I love those playing cards, and must look out for those! I don’t have too much “stuff” but I must admit to having several sets of the novels! For shame! Thanks so much for Jane Austen July, it motivates me so much and I’m always glad to have discovered new books or noticed new things on re-reads.
