A Twist of Austen is our first foray into the world of blogging and we're very excited to be here! To begin, an explanation: Letty and Henrietta (Hen for short), are two of our favorite heroines brought to life by the wonderful Lauren Willig in the historical fiction 'Pink Carnation' series. We humbly borrow their names for anonymity so all credit for anything 'Pink' related that may pop up on this blog must deservedly go to Ms. Willig. We debated for some time over which nom de plume we would choose and ultimately decided between the aforementioned names and our favorite Austen characters. Letty had picked Anne Elliot and I was torn between Hen and Elizabeth Bennet. In the end we wanted to broaden our blog beyond the (beautiful) realm of Austen, so we begrudgingly left Anne and Lizzy to Jane herself and embraced Letty and Hen.
Letty and I have been friends for quite some time now and one of our greatest similarities is our love for books, movies, music, and the world of pop culture. So we created this place to discuss and share our thoughts with others who may share similar tastes.
I'm sure we will inundate this page with musings on our favorite books, TV shows, films, and music and will no doubt have to reign in the impassioned discussions that ensue. But that is essentially how our conversations run every day, so nothing new there.
...Hen
