Letter from December 11, 1815, Jane Austen. Postcard sent by Laura (the UK). Not the first time that Jane Austen appears in my mailbox...

Which author would you like to receive a postcard of?

  2. This postcard knows me! How?
    A post card of Maya Angelou's would be great.

    1. You're not alone, it seems (see previous comment). There is a nice stamp of Maya Angelou recently issued by USPS.

  3. I think I would have loved a postcard written from Enid Blyton or Eric Linklater as a child. Receiving a postcard of a Terry Pratchett quote would be something I'd like now - it's still hard to think he's gone from this world :( Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace

  5. Jane Austen gets an awful lot of publicity - stamps, coins and bank notes and now this postcard. I've lost count of the times that adaptations of her books have appeared on TV.

    1. I am not sure if I have seen any of those TV adaptations. But at least I have read all her books! The first books I ever read on an e-reader were the complete works of this author.

  6. I would choose Ursula K. Le Guin for a postcard from a living author, Frank Herbert and Philip K. Dick from the deceased.

    2. For an MMSA postcard challenge I made a card based on Herbert's Dune and one for Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle.

    1. I have two friends very fond of Austen books (as myself), and they send me postcards from time to time. That's great!

  10. A postcard with a Mark Twain quote would be brilliant, I'm sure!

    1. I think I've seen those. But I'm not always sure that the quotes are true, or just attributed to him.

  13. I would've loved a Jane Austen postcard too. And one from Khalil Gibran and Rumi (the poet).

  14. I wish Miss Jane thought a little more highly of herself!

    You know, now that you ask, my mind goes completely blank on who I'd like to receive a postcard from! lol I hate when that happens! I do have a book autographed by Brad Thor, if that counts. :)

      I received once a letter from an author (Amélie Nothomb) and I was over the moon.

  15. I have no idea which author I would most like to receive a postcard from. There are too many to choose from.

  16. I think I'd like to receive a Shakespeare postcard. I grew up quite close to the area he was, so it would be a little reminder of home. :)
