Jane Austen Year 2025

As I mentioned before, as part of the commemoration of Jane Austen's 250th birthday, the Classics Club started a #Reading Austen project. We are reading a book by her every other month, and I want to do read something Austen-related by her in between.

And there are, of course, hundreds of books about Jane Austen, her life, her novels, plus numerous "sequels" to the novels she wrote, written by contemporary authors. I am not a big fan of those kind of stories, so I'm not including any since I haven't read them.
