    The Earl’s Lady Geologist by Alissa Baxter

    February 23, 2021 / 2 Comments

    I have to admit- I 100% judged this book by the cover. The Earl’s Lady Geologist by Alissa Baxter has one of those couples on the cover that just melt your heart. Sigh. That lingering glance filled with love. It’s the very thing that makes perfect romances stories. Well, the cover did not disappoint. I adored this book. It has witty characters and a fast-moving and heart-wrenching plot. Even the secondary characters all feel as though they have a purpose. It captivated me from the first chapter to the last page. If you enjoy romance books that also send you down a rabbit-trail of historical research, this is the book…

    Sons of Pemberley by Elizabeth Adams

    February 15, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Welcome my fellow reading friends! How do you feel about reimagining a favorite story? I must admit, while I am reading more Austen fan fiction, I don’t think I had read a reimaging at this level -until Sons of Pemberley. Now, that I have read one I am in full support of more. First, let me start out by saying that every book I have read by Elizabeth Adams has been pure creative genius. This book is no exception! I hardly know what I expected going into it but I soon realized I was on a completely different pace -much to my delight. I’ve been racking my brain since I…

    Nine Ladies by Heather Moll

    February 9, 2021 / 14 Comments

    It should come as no surprise at this point that today we are talking about another Pride & Prejudice variation. I basically survived 2020 by hanging out with Mr. Darcy a few times a week. (it might have only been in my dreams but it was enough to make the year go by faster.) But, what might surprise you is that there is time travel this time. Yep! We are getting all Back to the Future over here. I’m so happy to welcome my good friend, Heather Moll, to the blog today to introduce her newest book Nine Ladies. I’m handing it over to you, Heather… Thanks for welcoming me…

    Welcome fellow readers! Today’s blog post is brought to by kindness and curiosity. Thank you Don Jacobson for kindly reaching out and asking if I would like to read two of his books. I will never stop being amazing at the wonderful people that make up this little world of Janeites. The curiosity comes into play with my need to know more. I find myself never quite content with reading a book and not being able to know more about the author, the time period, the inspiration behind the story… Combine that with a very outgoing personality, and you will find me never hesitating to reach out to authors to…

    Welcome fellow readers! Today I have another wonderful Jane Austen fan fiction to review for you. First off let us have a moment with this cover, shall we? I love the subtle touch of their hands. It really captures the spirit of this book. It is a truth universally acknowledged that the disastrous first meeting of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet at the Meryton Assembly provided each with a ready-made set of prejudices to apply to the other. But when a horrific rural accident reveals Darcy to be a man of active, intelligent benevolence, and Elizabeth, in the absence of her appalling family, to be an extraordinary lady of courage…

    January 2021 Reading Recap

    February 1, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Welcome, fellow readers! Well, I think 2021 started quite the same as 2020 wrapped up -staying at home, being safe, and masking up. Although there is plenty to not like about what is keeping up at home, I have tried to find some positives in the new pace of life. As you know if you are regular here, I took a dive headfirst into Jane Austen fan fiction this past year. It was exactly what I needed for comfort reads during a stressful year. I made it one of my goals for this year to keep reading more JAFF. Be prepared to see lots more Austen on here! If you…

    An Interview With Author A.S. Fenichel

    Welcome fellow readers! Today, I am excited to be hosting one of my favorite authors, A.S. Fenichel. This week was the release of the third book in her Wallflowers of West Lane series. I have been enjoying this series immensely! This series is perfect for readers who love romance stories set in the Regency era with a little bit of action and steam. One of the aspects of her writing that I particularly find well done is the difficult issues some of the young ladies have faced in their past and how they give hope for finding love. (note- there are trigger warnings so be sure to check each book.…

    Fallen by Jessie Lewis

    January 14, 2021 / 18 Comments

    I was positively giddy when I saw Jessie Lewis had a new release coming out early in 2021. I discovered Jessie late last year when I read her book, Speechless. If you haven’t read it yet, I can’t recommend it enough. When the chance came to be able to read Fallen and interview Jessie, I squealed with delight! Fallen is unique in that it follows cannon pretty closely for the first quarter-ish of the book… and then it’s hang on to your hats! It is a wild curricle ride of emotions. What makes this book set apart from others is its ability to make you second-guess the characters you have…

    A Deadly Fortune by Stacie Murphy

    January 12, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Welcome back, bookish friends. Today, I’m excited to be sharing an excerpt from Stacie Murphy’s newest book, A Deadly Fortune. Just the excerpt of this is giving me the chills! I can’t wait to read it. A historical mystery in the vein of The Alienist, in which a young woman in Gilded Age New York must use a special talent to unravel a deadly conspiracy. Amelia Matthew has done the all-but-impossible, especially for an orphan in Gilded Age New York City. Along with her foster brother Jonas, she has parleyed her modest psychic talent into a safe and comfortable life. But safety and comfort vanish when a head injury leaves…

    All That This Entails

    December 15, 2020 / 5 Comments

    What is your go-to comfort read? My comfort read of 2020 has been any story with Fitzwilliam Darcy as one of the main characters. Admittedly, I quite new to Jane Austen Fan Fiction. But, I fell fast and hard. As I was reaching for to Austen more and more this year, I realized there was a whole world I had yet to explore with more Austen-goodness to read. This Pride & Prejudice did not disappoint! In a twist of fate, Mr. Bennet is now titled and wealthier than Mr. Darcy. The story picks up after Elizabeth has rejected Mr. Darcy’s -ahem- less than romantic proposal. What unfolds next is simply…
