I was planning on getting some Errandonée tasks out of the way today, but was foiled by a wee snow storm. But fear not, for I give you another challenge! This time, it's not bike-related, but has a more literary bent.
Austenprose is having a Pride and Prejudice Bicentenary Challenge, wherein one commits to reading/watching/listening to P&P related books, movies, TV series, web series, audiobooks, etc., and reviewing them during 2013. I've commited to the Aficionda level, which is 9-12 items, but there are also Neophyte (1-4) and Disciple (5-8) levels as well. And there are fun prizes to be had, apart from the joy of reading P&P. Naturally. You have until July 1 to sign up. Oh, and you don't need a blog to participate!
In what seems to be a tradition, I had already unwittingly begun the challenge before I found out about it. I reviewed my current obsession, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and have begun Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James, so I'm well on the way. This is also a kick in the pants to find several sequels that I've been meaning to read for years. Here is my list, in no particular order and I reserve the right to make additions or substitutions at any time.
Web series
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
Books
Death Comes to Pemberley, by P.D. James

If I'm feeling particularly masochistic, I'll rewatch the 1940 version.
I think that will do to go on with.
