Everything Austen II

As soon as I heard that Stephanie's Written Word announced the Everything Austen II challenge, I scurried over to Amazon to put together my reading list.

• Murder at Mansfield Park: A Novel by Lynn Shepherd
• Northanger Alibi by Jenni James
• The Intrigue at Highbury: Or, Emma's Match by Carrie Bebris
• Murder at Longbourn: A Mystery by Tracy Kiely
• Willoughby's Return: A tale of almost irresistible temptation by Jane Odiwe
• Lady Vernon and Her Daughter: A Novel of Jane Austen's Lady Susan by Jane Rubino and Caitlen Rubino-Bradway

As you can see, this list bends toward mysteries, so I've put together an extra credit list incase I tire of sleuthing or can't find the book at my local library, which happens way to often.

• Jane's Fame: How Jane Austen Conquered the World by Claire Harman
• Scones and Sensibility by Lindsay Eland
• Dear Jane Austen: A Heroine's Guide to Life and Love by Patrice Hannon
• Tea with Jane Austen by Kim Wilson
• The Jane Austen Handbook: A Sensible Yet Elegant Guide to Her World by Margaret C. Sullivan

The challenge runs from July 1st, 2010 to January 1, 2011. What books will you be reading this summer?
