Jane Austen's 236 Years Young
Or, as Oscar Wilde might put it, there are some women who have remained 236 for years!
Yes, that's right mesdames et monsieurs, our own Jane Austen turns 236 years young this Friday - and to celebrate, O Beauty Unattempted! is joining other Austenites across the blogosphere in Jane Austen's Birthday Soiree.
Our Soiree hostesses are Maria Grazia of My Jane Austen Book Club and Katherine Cox of November Autumn. You can hop around to each of the thirty-two blogs, each of whom will be giving a gift to you in honour of the birthday girl.
Here at O Beauty Unattempted! I'll be giving away a free e-copy of Letters of Love & Deception, a collection of Austenesque short stories, including characters from all of Austen's novels, perfect for any enthusiast!
Fridays are also Free Fridays here at O Beauty Unattempted!, which is currently chronicling the original Gothic novel, The House of Strangeways...but there will also be an extra Austen ficlet surprise! (Hey, you only turn 236 once!)
How do you enter to win any of the giveaways? Easy! Just comment on the Soiree posts! A full lists of sites and presents is below. See you Friday!
