Someone Else Pick It For Me- December

[Kristin]

Hi Kirk,

I've chosen Pen and Prejudice for you. The concept looks interesting and I hope you enjoy it! :)

Thank you Kristin!

[Kirk]

Hi Mary,
I hope you enjoy All That Entails! Cheers!

[Sheila]

Barb: for you I pick Jane Fairfax

It is one I read long ago and have been meaning to reread in order to post a review. I remember that in reading this book I found liked Emma even less.

[Abigail]

Well, Ahnya, this will come as no surprise to you, but I have to pick Pen and Prejudice. Nothing but the best!

(I should warn you that there are some typos and fact-checking errors in the print edition, and maybe in the electronic edition as well, but if this old copyediting stickler can get past them, others can too!)

[Mary]

Abigail-for you I choose 'What matters in J.Austen-twenty crucial puzzles solved'.
It sounds quite interesting and I hope you enjoy it.

[Mary]

Kirk-thank you!

[Abigail]

Thank you, Mary! Off to download it now.

I loved it and am overdue for a reread...maybe next month too!

[Teresa]

Ok Debbie for you I'm picking,

The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen.

I loved it. Hope you enjoy it as much.

Thanks Deborah. Looking forward to reading this one. Persuasion is my favourite Austen.

Oooooh! Excellent! Thank you, Teresa!

[Mary]

Teresa,I've read Captain Wentworth Home from the sea and loved it. Hope you feel the same.

[Teresa]

Brilliant Mary. We do seem to like a lot of the same Austenesque stuff. I love Captain Wentworth. My fav of the Austen heroes.

[Victoria]

Thanks Sophia! I hope I liked it!

For Deborah I've picked "Mr Bennet's Dutiful Daughter: A Pride and Prejudice Variation". I can't wait to hear if you like it!

I am so excited Victoria. I love Joanna's stories. Will start it tomorrow.

[Lenora]

Rosa I pick for you Frankenstien Darcy.
I have not read it yet but it I have been looking at it so you can tell me about it.

[Erika]

Hey guys, I'm sorry I didn't join this pick this month. Life has been crazy!!! I've read a bunch but am behind in reviewing. I have Thanksgiving week off and plan to make inroads to catching up, but will be heading north to pick up grandma to bring her down here (Milwaukee) for Thanksgiving and to spend some time at my house. Who'd have thought buying a house would rule my life?!?! Lol, I love my house!! I will pop in and see how everyone is doing.

So happy to hear how much you're loving your new home, Erika! Have a wonderful time with your grandma for your first Thanksgiving at home. Safe travels, dearie!

[Erika]

Thanks Lenora and Debbie I will. I hope everyone celebrating Thanksgiving this week has a great holiday!!!!

[Mary]

Oh,Erika! I'm delighted that you're so happy on your new home!
Hope you have a really lovely week off,that you enjoy every precious minute with your grandmother and that you get to catch up on your reading.

[Mary]

Kirk-thank you so much for choosing All That Entails! I picked it up Friday and honestly meant to just take a look at the first few paragraphs, but,as I'm sure you'll understand,one word led to ten, which led to reading the first chapter, and needless to say,I couldn't put it down! Just finished it this morning and loved it! Cheers!
Hope your book is just as enjoyable!!

Glad to read that!!! Lol, I did the same thing!! I liked my book but didn't love it. Cheers!

Hi Kristin, Thanks again, I did enjoy it! There were a few things that dropped it to 3.25, but I'm sure most others won't have the same issues. Cheers!!

That's great. Enjoy your visit and having your grandma see your new place. Have a great Thanksgiving!

[Sheila]

Happy Thanksgiving to all and know that I am thankful for all the friends I have made on Goodreads and for kind thoughts and good recommendations. Enjoy your friends and family...especially while they are with you/us.

[Debbie]

Amen to that, Sheila! My wishes are the same for everyone.

[Rosalinda]

Hi Lenora! Thanks for the Dec. pick. That was one of my first choices! Have a happy Thanksgiving...:) And, I'll let you know what the book is like as soon as I finish reading a couple of books I'm in the middle of.

[Abigail]

Well said, Sheila! Me too.

[Barb]

How did I miss the list of names being posted? Anyway, I have Sophia - Yay! I am picking Intrigue at Highbury by Carrie Bebris for you. I love this series and I hope you enjoy this one!

Thanks, Sheila! On with my reading. But, first have to get a copy. Have fun everyone!

[Sophia]

Super! Thanks, Barb. I look forward to it. :)

[Ahnya]

@ Sheila

Sorry I am getting my pick for you in just under the wire. It has been a CRAZY couple of weeks
Mr. Darcy's Christmas Carol, it looks so cute. Hope you enjoy

Nope not a surprise, but I am excited to read it. Usually I can ignore the errors, but it does bother me.

[Debbie]

Oh, Ahnya! Have you started it yet? You're in for such a treat. Pen and Prejudice is one of my faves. Distinctly different from anything else I've read in the modern JAFF genre. Enjoy!

It's not December yet so you are not at all late. I hope to enjoy a few holiday books this season. Thank you for this selection.

Not yet, I am beta reading for someone and I need to finish that before I start any other books. I will start probably next week.

[Barb]

Perfect timing! My copy of Jane Fairfax arrived in the mail today! So, I can start on time. Best wishes for happy reading to all!

[Patricia]

I finished chosen by Sophia.

I really enjoyed it! I gave it 5 stars. It was amazing how fate intervened. ;)

[Don]

Sorry guys, was too busy finishing "The Maid and The Footman" to get in the December pool. Look for me in January, though! "Mr Darcy's Christmas Carol" looks great!

No worries, Don! We'll work in several Someone Else Pick opportunities in the new year.

[Don]

[Ahnya]

Finished Pen and Prejudice the other day. Sorry Abigail I know you like it, but it was a miss for me.

[Abigail]

Sorry about that, Ahnya! I learned when my Jane Austen reading group read it that not everyone does . . .

I like the reading experience anyway. I usually go for the modern variations so it had a good chance, but I couldn't connect with this one.

[Emily (biblioblondes)]
