Jo has the Thursday Theme: songs related to Jane Austen to celebrate 250 years since the author's birth! That could be tracks related to her novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. Or you could be inspired by films which have used Jane Austen as inspiration like Clueless or Bridget Jones’s Diary.
