So happy with my Jane Austen ten pound note! Can you believe these are going to be around for the next 15 years or so? Visiting England has suddenly become even more fun than it already was 😉 #janeausten #janeaustensengland #tenpounds #tenpoundnote

'I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!' Jane Austin The new ten pound note will feature Jane Austin, ensuring at least one of our four notes celebrates a woman (the Queen aside). This year is the 200th anniversary of her death, aged just 41. #currency #janesustin #200thanniversary #prideandprejudice #tenpoundnote

Jane Austen will be the next face to grace England's ten pound note

Jane Austen is on the £10 note, hell yes.

It's about time her work was appreciated, the woman is responsible for the maturing of the novel. 

As a literature nerd, this piece of information has excited me so very much. I think it is even more important due to the rise in books like '50 Shades of Grey'. It disgusts me that people would read these kinds of books, yet refuse to challenge themselves by reading classic novels. 

Authors such as Austen have an ability that really inspires me, and has lead me to believe in the power of the English language. This is amazing news for anyone that genuinely appreciates literature and reading. 

I hope it leads to people actually stretching out of their comfort-zone and picking up one of her novels. They really are beautiful. Especially 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Emma'. If it doesn't however, my faith in society might be a little shaken. Especially as you can get most classics for free on a kindle or on 'iBooks'. 

This has made my day!
