From our Birthday Tea in Gruene today! Hosted by two of our members, complete with a gift exchange and followed by a walk into Gruene for a one-man show of A Christmas Carol and some Christmas Market shopping. It was a lovely, warm day, filled with Austen, friends, and holiday spirit! • • • #JASNA #Janeites #AustenInAustin #ChristmasInGruene #70degreesinDecember
#TBT: Fun times at the Emporium! Two of our members, #JanineBarchas and @dr_diane_lovell, discussing Austen-y things! (Probably those @chawtonhouse benches...) • • • #JASNA #AGM2019 #Janeites #JaneCon
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

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! — When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
