Austen in Austin

March 25, 2013 · by blesso2013

You could put a few lines in here about Austin’s culture and why it’s so attractive for Janeites, or perhaps how your JASNA group got started.

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.”
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

Congratulations to the ladies of Austenistan! #TwoYearsOfAustenistan #RepostPlus @laaleensukhera - - - - - - 2 years ago, our little anthology called #Austenistan headed to Bloomsbury's printing press. We wrote it for ourselves, never imagining a global audience. Thank you for all the love! Heiress and society doyenne Kamila Mughal is humiliated when her brother’s best friend snubs her to marry a social climbing nobody from Islamabad. Jameela Baig’s cold, unenterprising husband hasn’t planned for the future and all she can think about is how to find suitable husbands for her daughters. Roya Khalil discovers that her fiancé has been cheating on her and ends up on a blind date in Surrey on her wedding day. Beautiful young widow Begum Saira Qadir has mourned her late husband but feels she may finally be ready to start following her own desires. Emaan navigates post-divorce singlehood in cosmopolitan Karachi, Samina confronts her inner demons in metropolitan Lahore, and Maya fears her marriage to her English diplomat husband has gone cold. #fiction #janeausten #writingcommunity #anthology #shortstories #publishing #writersofinstagram Photographed by @horizonepisodes
Our region was treated to a private curator’s tour of the new Austen in Austin exhibit last weekend! #JanineBarchas was an exceptional tour guide, teaching us all about lesser known/desired editions of Austen’s works. In addition to first editions owned by Austen herself, the collection included some owned by other authors, “penny delightful” editions, and foreign editions (and everything in between!). It was a wonderful experience! Thank you to Janine and the @ransomcenter for having us! #JASNA #Janeites #HRC #AustenInAustin
We’re only one week out from #AGM2019!! So here’s a #flashback to last year: our SCTX region before the banquet, in all our finery. Can’t wait for Williamsburg! (@jasna_2019) #fbf #oneweekout #JaneCon
A little L❤️VE for your Monday! Some of us got together for a “Becoming Jane” watch party this weekend (who needs football?), complete with tea sandwiches and popcorn! How was your weekend??
