As they say, all good things must come to an end. I've had so much fun celebrating the 200th anniversary of my favorite novel, Pride and Prejudice, with all of you. I hope you've enjoyed some of my ramblings and that it's made you want to revisit the novel or pick it up for the first time. To finish out the week of celebrating, I've included a recap of my posts and shared some of my favorite news articles and blog posts about Austen and her beloved novel.
