Yesterday evening from 4-5:30pm, I enjoyed watching another live author event hosted by Wellington Square Bookshop titled, The Brontes vs. Jane Austen: A conversation with Finola Austin & Natalie Jenner.
This was a lovely author event to view, especially for fans of Jane Austen and the Brontes!!
The event description described The Brontes vs. Jane Austen: A conversation with Finola Austin & Natalie Jenner author event as follows:
Two Books, Two Authors: Bronte's Mistress by Finola Austin & The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner
Finola and Natalie will discuss:
• Branwell Bronte's scandalous affair with an older woman, which inspired Finola's novel Bronte's Mistress
• What inspired Natalie to fictionalize the story of the Jane Austen Society's origins in her novel, The Jane Austen Society
• Their favorite (and least favorite) Austen and Bronte novels
• What drew them to the Brontes and Austen, and whether they'd ever consider going over to the other side.
Have attended any online author events lately?
I have been finding great author events on YouTube put on by Politics and Prose bookstore in DC. The other week I watched Olga Tokarczuk and her translator Jennifer Croft discuss Flights, a book I reviewed recently.
ReplyDeleteOooo, that sounds like fun!! Lots of great videos on YouTube to watch. My hubby and I watch YouTube all the time verses regular tv.
DeleteWhat?! How did I miss this? I would have loved to attend.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to remember if they said they'd be posting this event on YouTube?? I enjoyed watching these 2 authors converse.
