Natalie Jenner:
Hi Natalie! Which Austen character do you most identify with?... Or is it Jane herself? And also have you ever watched PBS Sanditon? It was Jane Austen's unfinished novel! she was only 12 chapters in when she passed away. It aired in January I loved it♥ Thank you for your time, have a wonderful day:-) BTW what's your favorite form of chocolate?
Natalie Jenner
I always say, I'd like to be Elizabeth Bennet, identify most with Elinor Dashwood, and fear I am an EMMA ;)
I did watch Sanditon - the first time through, I held it to too high a standard in my desperation for more of REAL Austen writing - on a second watch, I relaxed into it as a product of Andrew Davies's own talents and imagination and enjoyed it much more that way. I pretty much devoured the last three episodes.
As for chocolate, I love all forms, but will always have a weak spot as a British-Canadian for Cadbury's Fruit & Nut ;)
Stay well!

Hi Natalie--2 questions. First, will you be visiting the Poisoned Pen in AZ? (The Pen did both my book events, and they are amazing.) Second, I'd like to do a giveaway for your book in my May newsletter. Subscribers are avid readers, goodreads librarians, and bloggers; mostly women, 30+. I can mail a copy but would you be willing to send them a signed bookplate or a card separately? I'm looking forward to reading!

Natalie Jenner:
Just wanted to tell you, Ms. Jenner, that I just finished "The Jane Austen Society". I thoroughly enjoyed it. I recalled how, after I read Pride and Prejudice I asked you on here what I should read next you answered "Emma". I read "Emma" and enjoyed it as well. I loved in the opening chapters how Mimi tells Adam he needs to start with Pride and Prejudice and then Emma. Thank you for the same good advice? Next please?
