Sam’s comments from the Austenesque Lovers TBR Challenge 2023 group.

Very nice Sophia!

Listened to Peacocks of Pemberley, it is a wonderful audiobook and an enjoyable story.
Thanks for the good pick Katja!

That's great!

She has dramatic ideas, but I have always found her style of writing painful to read.
I never could see why her books were so popular. But we are all different and own personal opinions.

Hits and misses, Linda. Hopefully the next batch will be better.

https://fichub.net/ and this is the webpage to paste a link to the story. It isn't full proof, but it works.

The mozilla add on I use is Fichub.

I am sure all these options are better than the downloader app from fanfic which doesn't work at all

Good for you Anji!
I have started Peacocks of Pemberley on audiobook and so far it's great.

Jen, is that the one with the big blue Save button?
I use that too.
There is also fichub web page, into which you paste the link. And then download a file

roflol! What a great way to start the morning!
Thanks Rose and Jeanne

Congratz Crafty!

Debbie I have been using an outside link via my browser. the app for FF hasn't worked well for a while.

One of things I have come to appreciate about the jaffesque world is what a tight-knit and warm community it is.
Most of the authors and readers are so supportive of one another.
Part of the way we show that is via our reviews.

Crafty, I agree that frequency of reviewing is a part of it.
It is one of the answers I got when I tried multiple times to appeal on being blocked from reviewing.

Now I I am just glad they didn't red flag me out of spite.

Jeanne, how did you finally get a human person. almost all the replies seem to be bot generated.
How did you 'know' it was a human in the end?

oy vey.
I was informed recently, that they don't allow more than a few reviews a day. They see it it as 'problematic' maybe even fraudulent activity.
And trying to review something more than 2 also flags the account. That is how I got locked out of reviewing 2 books.

But Jeanne is definitely your go-to for help now.

So sorry about this stress...

Yes, I guess I fell in love with the stories.
Every once in a while I branch out, but why pass on a good thing?
;)

Oh Katja, I am so sorry! What happened, did you get that response after trying to review something?

Here is my next batch. Reading has definitely slowed down. But the audiobooks help and are not a bother regarding concentration!
