Well, there is always a slower reread. I have reread some if not all of her books...in whole or just the parts I especially enjoy...that does not mean the MA parts but sometimes those, too.

#130... great numbers Sheila... I added this one to my wish list. Making my list and checking it twice... wait... that's not right. Oh well.
Sheila... ouch... guess I'll avoid that one.
Yes, I more or less finished it so as to be able to give a complete opinion in a review.

I need to catch up on writing my reviews. I'm enjoying the Darcy Monologues currently. Very interesting read.
Wow! You are certainly moving at warp speed through these books Sara. I can't wait until I can read the Darcy Monologues. They sound awesome.

You've got some good ones in this list! I'm going to try The Promise.

You are so far out of sight....great work. Enjoy. And congratulations.
Thank you all. I've actually not been able to read as much as I normally do. Imagine that. HA! I appreciate the encouragement.

Love that title, Lenora. Sounds like a fun one.
Lenora, not sure if this is the one or not...http://meryton.com/aha/index.php?show...
you have to be a member and sign in.
Lenora, I read it in no time, as it is very short, and is simply adorable. It is labeled a Playground Piece... I don't know what that means. But, I enjoyed it. Thanks for alerting us. The title is Anne de Bourgh Is Most Seriously Displeased. When you sign in there are two selections... one is for comments.
I also found it but saved it for another time as I am reading a 899 page unpublished piece titled Betrayed that Talia shared with me. The colonel is the total opposite of honorable so it is not a happy story.
Ouch Sheila, that is one long read. Good luck, wow. I've read a few where the Colonel was not a nice guy. Those are tough to read. Hang in there. This other one about Anne can be read in about 30 minutes or less than an hour. It isn't very long at all. If you need a break from the monster... this is light enough to distract you. It's not listed on GR so we'll have to save our stars and reviews for later.
I am on page 727 so the end is in sight. Caroline has descended in to madness and they are taking her to an asylum in Scotland.
OMG!! Writing her as mad makes my skin crawl. You can just see her as she schemes and plots. Lawd, that is scary as heck. She's as dangerous as a rattlesnake.
or throws everything she can reach against the wall and makes insinuations about small children and babies being nuisances.
Finished it. Betrayal by Pat M. , 899 pages A P&P variation.

The Colonel is having an affair with the girl. Darcy finds them naked in the woods at Rosings. He overhears the Colonel planning to kill Darcy after they are married.
Yes, as I was reading it I kept thinking I had read it before but there is no where to post a review.
Sheila wrote: "Yes, as I was reading it I kept thinking I had read it before but there is no where to post a review."Give me the link -- is this at Meryton Assembly?
I could set up a page for reviews.
A few weeks ago, people were discussing "bad" Colonel Fitzwilliams -- An Unpleasant Walk -- I mentioned this story but could not recall a title. Someone (maybe Leslie?) wanted the info.
I don't have a link. Talia sent me a pdf copy. I am thinking you could find it on one of the sites...maybe AHA. But I am not sure where she got her copy. I'll try to contact her about that.

It's at Meryton Reading Room

Do you want me to set up a GR listing? I think there would be some interest in the story.
Yes, and I will post a review while it is fresh in my mind. Thank you. Talia did get back to me and said that someone sent her the pdf form of the story.
133.) In the still of the night 4 stars134.) Betrayal by Pat M., 899 pages, unpublished
135.) Mistaken by Jessie, unpublished WIP but complete as of today, 5/25/17, but will be published and I will read it again before posting a review.

Great progress as usual Sheila! Keep it up!

In fact, you have a review posted last year. Erica posted that the author has passed away before this one could be published.
I have also read her story "Beloved"
I'm in the mood for a book where Mr. Darcy just carts Elizabeth off to Gretna Green (or forces her to marry him after his proposal). Can anyone think of a variation like that? Thanks in advance. (I have read The Whisky Wedding: a Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet story which is sorta similar.)

Darcy interrupts Elizabeth's wedding to the odious Mr. Collins. They run away together.

When I typed it in on Goodreads Y-T-D list nothing came up. I thought I had read it before and I have Beloved and another one by the same author. I will now check to see if those are posted on GRs. Thank you for your research. So this is a second read on Betrayal...when I find it.
