Interest in Discussion?

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

Yay!

[Louise Sparrow]

Last call for Eligible :)

[Amanda]

Louise, I would love that copy of Eligible! I have had that on my wish list on Amazon since I heard about, which I believe was right after it was published.

Hi Jane members,

I am about to change the discussion dates. In mailing the packages to our international members, the P.O. said the shipping could take up to 10 business days. I really want to give everyone a fair time to get started on the read -- otherwise it turns into work rather than fun. I am moving the beginning date of Useful Woman read to Oct. 6. I will try to keep the Persuasion date at Oct. 22....so we wont have to wait too long for it, and also to avoid possible other first of the month start dates in other groups. That may help?

I apologize to readers who have already read the book quickly to prepare for the read. The shipping situation has just been beyond my control, but I did enjoy being able to offer the complimentary copies from Darcie Wilde.

If anyone in US wants my copy of "Useful Woman" when I'm done reading (I don't have it yet), pls send pm to me.

[Emmy]

This sounds fine, Sarah. Thank you so much!!

[Abigail]

That will actually be easier for me!

[SarahC, Austen Votary & Mods' Asst.]

Thank you, I hope so!

Thanks Darcie & Sarah - this was a very generous thing to do!

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

I finished the Darcie Wilde book last night and I can't wait for the discussion!

No spoilers but the next book in the series won't be published until May 2, 2017. :-(

So glad the book arrived. You are welcome. And it looks like our postal services do a pretty good job transporting. lol

Andrea, glad yours has arrived also. Megan, your enthusiasm is making me want to get all of my work done today so I can get back to the book. I have started it and agree that it captured my interest.

I read the book already and as an Austenesque piece, it was disappointing but I will probably end up reading the second one.

[Emmy]

Just received my copy of the book. Thank you so much Sarah!! I love the cover already and I'm super excited to start reading it.

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

Emilia,

I agree that the cover is pretty!

You are welcome; I am glad it made the journey! I look forward to discussing.

[Louise Sparrow]

My copy arrived yesterday, thank you SarahC!

You are so welcome, Louise. I am looking forward to the discussion. It will certainly help welcome in Autumn for me to get together over good books.

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

I'm at the half-point.

This book isn't all that Austenesque to me, but I'm into this book. I like it so far.

Thanks Sarah!

[SarahC, Austen Votary & Mods' Asst.]

I am about that point too, Andrea. Yes, I am certainly wanting to learn more about these characters. You are very welcome.

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

I have finished reading A Useful Woman by Darcie Wilde.

If anyone is interested in having this copy that Sarah was kind enough to send to me, I will pay for postage anywhere in the lower 48 states.

[Mimi]

I'd like to read it, if you can send your copy to me.
