I picked these up from the library last week, but I've finished them already. xD
And I have quite a few on hold at the library, and I've bought lots. Can't keep track! :P

SOOOO TRUE
Hi Maria! Maybe we can be book buddies and read it together or something:-) We would just need to set a date to start it.Aerykah, I love that you are a Christian Fiction reader as well! We are kindred spirits, no doubt about it. We could be book buddies too:-)
Evelyn, I do the same thing! I request like ten books from the library at once sometimes Lol. I'll tell myself I have enough and then I keep finding "just one more." Lol
I have started another book Love Lifted Me. I have read the first two in the series and loved them. It takes a little bit to get going on the first one but I'm glad I stuck to it and have enjoyed the whole series so far.

Yes, I believe there are several who read Christian fiction on here which is great. Okay, I will get back to you on it...

I'm hoping to get to that one soon. :)I did read
... last year, I believe. Really, really enjoyed it!! :DHave you read
by Pamela Aidan?
Mod
@ Stephanie-Thanks! I've seen "Lost in Austen" and it was fun :) Generally, I don't like rushed endings but if the book is good, I might love it all the same!@Aerykah-I love Amanda Grange's diaries! My favourite is Captain Wentworth's (so far), but Knightley's was very good, too!
@Bonnie-I'd love to do a buddy read with you! I'm not sure if I can in the next weeks, though, because I have other reads already planned. But we can find a way :) Let me know if you can wait a little :)
Mod
I did read

I still need to read Mr Darcy's Diary :)

They're really good! :)
Maria, no problem at all. Let me know when is good for you:-)
Alice wrote: "I still need to read Mr Darcy's Diary :)"Yes, m'dear, you really need to read that one! :D
Okay, I have never read any of the books by Jane Austen. But since joining goodreads, I am tempted. Could anybody recommend which one I should start with?
Bonnie, I love them all :) So, I'd say whatever you choose, you're in for a treat! But my absolute favourite is "Pride and Prejudice", so I'd pick that one to enter the great world of Jane Austen's novels! ;)I'll message you soon to plan our buddy read! :)
I'm with Maria on this one, Bonnie. "Pride & Prejudice" is my absolute favorite book! So, for obvious reasons, I just have to recommend that one. ;)

Hi Aerykah, happy Saturday! Okay, I looked up some of the books you listed and was thinking we could read one of those since they are already on your to read list. Does
or
work for you?
Great! Thank you Maria and Aerykah:-) I have no idea if I am going to like them but I decided after years of mild curiosity to give them a chance.

I am never without a book so if you need a some time, no worries at all.
I finally got
!! It was 1.99 $ on Kindle, so I got it :D ;D
@Bonnie- Either of those would be fine. I might be getting to
sooner, though, because my brother said he'd like to borrow the other one sometime, but I don't know when.
Mod
Pride & Prejudice is a great one to start with!! :D
Anne!!!!!! AAAH!! I LOVE that book!!!!

I am soooooo excited!!!! :D :D I remember how everyone was raving about it!
By the way, I agree that P&P is a great one to start with! I loved Emma also. :)
Anne wrote: "I finally got !! It was 1.99 $ on Kindle, so I got it :D ;D"Very good read. I liked it a lot.
Bonnie wrote: "Okay, I have never read any of the books by Jane Austen. But since joining goodreads, I am tempted. Could anybody recommend which one I should start with?"I agree with everyone Pride & Prejudice is a good start. I actually started with Persuasion and worked my way back to the others.

Aerykah wrote: "@Bonnie- Either of those would be fine.

We can wait and start it June 1st if that is convenient for you. Or if you have another time frame in mind I am flexible:-)
Thanks ladies! :D I really can't wait to read it!! Soph and Nicole, I will let you know!
@Bonnie- June 1st sounds great. :)The buddy reads I've done were "organized" in a group. Since this one isn't, where do you want to discuss it?
Went to the library today and got
, which I have finished already today. Then I also got
,
,
,
, and
. Some of these I am previewing to see if I want to add to my library in the future.
A Truth Universally Acknowledged is one of my favorite books on Jane Austen.I really enjoyed What Matters in Jane Austen also but ATUA was better.

I'm new to goodreads as of this week so do you want to start a place and let me know? I think I'm getting the hang of it but just in case, you probably know a lot more about how this group stuff works than I do Lol!
Anne wrote: "I finally got !! It was 1.99 $ on Kindle, so I got it :D ;D"Yay!! Anne, I think you know how much I loved this book! :) I can't wait to hear your thoughts!
@Bonnie- This group doesn't have a section for buddy reads. We could discuss it via personal messages, I suppose.
