Janna, please, you are very inspiring. I do love your name connection to Austin. I believe that is why you were inspired to start us off. Tif, I did not know there was a BBC version of Northanger Abbey. I will be very interested to watch it after I'm done with the book. Do you know how to get a hold of it? So, Janna, I like your pick for Tilney, and actually, I recognized his name, but I wouldn't have been able to put a face with it, so I'm glad you did! I have decided my Thorpe will be a very young George Costanza (I don't remember his name, Christopher something . . .). With a Cockney British accent I think he would play a sufficiently obnoxious character. So . . . I am just at the part where she is invited to the abbey so I am very excited to see how this plays out . . . no clues for you Janna!
