I have enjoyed this category, a new one for me (an idea I stole from other people's challenges!). I often go on a reading binge on one author or topic, so this has worked well, most have been Jane Austen related. I did give up on Lesley Castle, as her work translated into Spanish loses its appeal for me. This category has also inspired me to read a couple of tomes that I have been avoiding, The Mysteries of Udolpho and Vanity Fair. As for favourite books, I think that Jane Austen A Life was the best book, it was informative without being dry. Persuading Annie and Austenland were great fun for an Austen fan like me, both worth a read. The bottom 2 were definitely An Unequal Marriage, a miserable continuation of Pride and Prejudice and Sundays at Tiffanys, a nice idea poorly executed.
