Jane's Reign: Day Two!


It's a very exciting day! Today the Lady Janies are going to sit down together (well, not together, since we all live in different towns) but AT THE SAME TIME and watch one of our all time favorite movies:

Anybody want a peanut?

We love this film so very much, and it was a source of major inspiration for us while we were writing MY LADY JANE. In fact, if you look hard enough, you'll find little nods to THE PRINCESS BRIDE all over MLJ.

So today we're going to celebrate all the silliness and hot hot Cary Elwes and fantasy that makes you laugh and watch this movie together. Please, please join us at :

12PM PACIFIC TIME

You can livestream the movie at Netflix (click here), Amazon Prime (click here), or just watch your own copy. Please follow our twitter accts (@cynthiahand, @brodiashton, @jodimeadows) and see our comments and make your own at #princessbridelivetweet

When the movie is over, check back here for a list of questions you'll be able to answer only if you've seen the movie. Email us your answers, and you'll be entered to win a hilarious Princess Bride  / MY LADY JANE prize package. Winners will be announced on the Jane's Reign Prize Day, July 18.

And don't forget to come back here throughout the week for a new fun event and giveaway every single day of Jane's Reign.

See you soon over at Twitter! And have fun storming the castle!

  1. I missed the live tweet :( But I've seen this movie so many times (it's my favourite!!) that I'm pretty sure I can answer all the questions except #3 without rewatching or checking my answers. Now I'm off to go find your tweets!!

  2. I'm composing my entry for this contest and I have a few questions! I found a few moments in My Lady Jane that I think are nods to The Princess Bride, but I'm not completely sure. Is there some penalty for including these, if it turns out that they're actually not? And, this might seem a little silly, but I'm not sure how to count the paragraphs on the page haha. Is the 1st paragraph of the page considered the paragraph at the very top, even if it's a continuation of the last paragraph on the previous page, or the very first indented paragraph on that page? Thank you!
