To use a very English expression, I am all behind, like the cow's tail, on this MT. By the schedule, we should be talking about her biographers and her reputation. However, I suspect that I'm not the only one who still has things to say about early periods in her life and odd questions to ask.

The Next MT will be a back-up to the Group read of Northanger Abbey. That doesn't start until March 30, so we still have two and a bit weeks to talk about JA's life. Let's use it...and not worry too much about doing things chronologically right now, okay?
