This year I’m joining a Jane Austen Challenge  in which my goals are to reread

1. Pride and Prejudice
2. Northanger Abbey
3. Sense and Sensibility
4. Mansfield Park
5. Emma
6. Persuasion,

 as well as to study Miniatures and Morals:  The Christian Novels of Jane Austen by Peter J. Leithart, which is an analysis of the above six novels, and to find a good biography of Jane Austen.

Together with Miss 13, who is also joining this challenge, and Miss 18, I also plan to watch several Austen movies.  This will be a wonderful mother-daughter-sister project for us to enjoy this year.  Miss 18 may not have enough time, though.
