Sorry... I've been off line for a bit while working on a project for Sophia. I am slightly behind Sheila... but do expect to see Mr. Darcy's Library in a few months. Never fear... I am still on point. Thanks for asking Debbie.

Debbie (dmbrown) | 734 comments Dang, Sheila! You're sure piling on those books!


message 911: by Sheila (new)

Sheila Majczan (sheilalmajczan) | 1301 comments When they are novellas it is not difficult to pile them up. I am now rereading Mansfield Park due to a plan to participate in a book club at the library and it is much longer. Tuesday: will I get through it? We'll see.

Marlene | 364 comments If you're already familiar with the story, you could safely go even if you don't make it!


message 913: by Sheila (new)

Sheila Majczan (sheilalmajczan) | 1301 comments Yes, I am familiar with it and will go even if I don't finish rereading it. It is more to have it fresh in my mind and in tribute to our dear author in this the observance of her death 200 years ago.

J. W. Garrett (jeannewallacegarrett) | 1166 comments They're doing MP over in Jane Austen Group Read. They finished discussing chapters 1-8 and have just started 9-18. Jump in any time. You can look back over the last discussion if you wish. There were some insights I had not considered before.

Thanks. I'll check it out. I was in a JA book club and we discussed each book, also. I didn't join a group read as I am so erratic about checking e-mails.
