Thanks for doing the tag! Jane Austen is one of my favourite authors so I loved this spin on it. I still need to read The History of England and her letters.

Oh, the History of England is funny! Her letters are fun, too.

Great answers Anne and thanks for the shout out. I must get copies of her letters. Quotes from her letters. -“I will not say that your mulberry trees are dead; but I am afraid they're not alive. ” -[On buying a "sprig" for her sister's hat:] "I cannot help thinking that it is more natural to have flowers grow out of the head than fruit. What do you think on that subject?" -[To her sister Cassandra, on the birth of a son to one of their sisters-in-law:] "I give you joy of our new nephew, and hope if he ever comes to be hanged it will not be till we are too old to care about it." -"Your silence on the subject of our ball makes me suppose your curiosity too great for words."

Love those quotes! I read her letters a few years ago, and enjoyed it.

Had to laugh at the part where you talk about giving someone part of a horse. 😂

Great answers! I like your spin on this tag! My husband loves chess - he has an app that he plays chess on.

Yeah I think my boys have played it on an app before. I'm just not into it at all. 😂

This was fun! And Jane always wrote strong female leads, even if they took some time to fit into that definition. 😊

See, I thought of Tilney and Edmund for the bishop.

Yes, there were several possibilities! She did like to have religious characters. I guess since she grew up in a pastors family that makes sense.

I read it fairly recently or it wouldn't have occurred to me. I also watched the BBC adaptation not too long ago.

Let's be real, all of Austen's leads are strong female characters in their own way.
