Jane Austen Made Me Do It: Original Stories Inspired by Literature’s Most Astute Observer of the Human Heart, edited by Laurel Ann Nattress

Total Reading Time: 3.75 hours

Review: Well, this one is a no-brainer. As a self-professed Austenphile, any excuse to read anything remotely close to Jane Austen’s work is something I’m going to enjoy. (As evidenced by the many Austen sequels, retellings & other Austenesque books I’ve read.) These 22 short stories are wonderfully creative and seem to spring directly from the mind of the Lady herself or are inspired by her life. Lovely.
