One of the reasons I started this podcast--one of the reasons I love reading and writing in this community--is that I've come across so many thoughtful and insightful readers. My guests today--Gina, Paige, and Wendy--epitomize those qualities. I met them online about a year ago, and since then, I've enjoyed reading their thoughts on Austen and Austenesque on Facebook and on Paige's blog, Jane Austen State of Mind. In this conversation, we discuss what readers want, the Austen characters we loathe most, Austen's portrayals of women...and so much more! Stick around for the lightening round at the end, and then leave a comment letting me know your answers to those questions! (And hey, if you give your answers in a voice message on Anchor, I'll try to play it on my next podcast!) Show notes: Here are some books and authors mentioned in this podcast (listed approximately in the order they were mentioned). --Caitlin Williams, The Coming of Age of Elizabeth Bennet --Linda Berdoll --Marsha Altman --Joana Starnes, The Unthinkable Triangle --Amy D'Orazio, A Short Period of Exquisite Felicity --Lucy Marin, The Recovery of FItzwilliam Darcy --Christina Morland, Seasons of Waiting and A Remedy Against Sin
