30 Further Down the Road

I really liked this story line. I hated what happened to Lydia but loved how it brought her and Louisa closer.

[Sheila]

Again, I have finished reading another unpublished book:
Nothing Wanting By Juliecoop https://www.dwiggie.com/derby/old_200...

It is about 90 pages long. It begins in Kent where the Colonel tells Elizabeth about Wickham rather than about how Darcy helped his friend, Bingley, by separating him from Jane. When ODC meet at Rosings that evening Darcy and Elizabeth make strides to better understand the relationship they have had and how he, especially, has taken her teasing to be a type of flirting and how she has totally misunderstood his stares, etc. That night neither can sleep. She dresses and walks in the parsonage garden, while he wanders and finds himself near that same garden. Sigh...what ensues is so romantic. BUT never fear they are not spared their period of misunderstanding and estrangement in this tale. Anne and her mother figure heavily in events in this variation.

I think I've downloaded this one but haven't read it yet. Sounds interesting!

Moving on Lenora!!!

WOW!!! Sheila, those numbers are climbing!!!

[Debbie]

Great to see Lenora and Sheila still piling on the books!

[Mary]

Wonderful,Sheila! Well done! And yes,we have no doubt that you'll go well beyond your goal!

[Sheila]

I am going to read 2 more JAFF but then I plan to read the N&S variation Nicole recommended and FINALLY read the last in the Outlander series. Thanks for the compliment.

[J. W.]

Nice plans Sheila. Set a goal [2 JAFF], while dangling a reward [N&S, which we all know you love], and then follow up with the Outlander, which you have longed to read since it came out. Excellent!! A lady with a plan.

[Mary]

Sheila-you know I simply have to ask,is the N&S variation A Heart For Milton? If not,would you mind telling me what it is? Thanks so much.

[Sheila]

Yes, that is the one. I have a list of N&S variations as well as Jane Eyre variations which someday I hope to read. I read Jane Eyre 8 times before discovering JA.

[Mary]

Thank you. Hope you love every minute you spend reading it. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on it.
Have yet to read Jane Eyre.

[Sheila]

Oh, Mary, it is such a classic but deals with an emotionally abusive aunt in the beginning.

[Mary]

It's on my bucket list,Sheila!! One of the girls at work is always recommending Wuthering Heights,which I've yet to read. One of these days...!!

[Sheila]

Wuthering Heights is a good story but not HEA...very dark!!! I have several DVDs of this one also. One has Timothy Dalton as Heathcliff. Dark brooding man.

[Mary]

I'm not a huge fan of Timothy Dalton,Sheila.
I think I'll have to set some time aside to read some of these classics.

[Debbie]

I love Jane Eyre, with the spunky governess and the spooky twist. Wuthering Heights is one that's grown on me. I had to really study it when it was required reading for the college track high school seniors I taught, and that's when I started to appreciate it. Rebecca is another that's similar with the dark undertone. Not exactly a typical romance, but it has a haunting quality about it that sort of grabs you.

[Teresa]

I could not, how ever much I tried, read Wuthering Heights and I applaud anyone who does. Jane Eyre is good. Actually Mary the dvd of JE with Timothy Dalton is excellent. It's true to the book and he is a brilliant Rochester.
I'm reading a book at the moment about Anne Bronte who was the overlooked one of the sisters. It's interesting so far.

[Mary]

Teresa,I'm delighted that you're enjoying the book about Anne B.
At the moment I'm kinda at a standstill,not really able to read anything......

[Teresa]

I HATE when that happens Mary but it seems to happen to everyone at some stage. My daughter is going through it at the moment. She's on mid term and had loads of plans but got nowhere with them.

[Mary]

I can totally relate with how your daughter is feeling,Teresa!!

Timothy Dalton played both Rochester and Heathcliff. I always loved his eyes.

32 Mrs. Bennet is Dead * Charlott's Gambit
http://meryton.com/aha/index.php?show...

this was a well thought out story and had a nice outcome

[J. W.]

Lenora... moving right along. That title alone makes me curious.

[Debbie]

Mary wrote: "Teresa,I'm delighted that you're enjoying the book about Anne B.

Mary? What's going on? Just needing a break after all the books you've already read, or is it something more serious?

And Lenora, I'm with Jeanne. That last one you listed has a startling title, to be sure!

[Mary]

Lenora-well done on having read 32 books! Wow!

[Mary]

Debbie-
I think I just need a break from reading! That sounds like a sacrilege,I know,but sometimes when this happens with JAFF,I simply move to a different genre,which I did. However,I'm finding it hard to concentrate,so,as they say,I'm on a break!!

[Debbie]

Perfectly understandable. I was concerned it might be because of illness or family emergency. Relieved to learn you're just "on a break!"

[Mary]

Debbie-you are so kind! Thank you for your concern.

[J. W.]

We love you Mary and everyone takes breaks. Nothing wrong with that. Just stay on line with us as we enjoy your input and comments. I figure I will break also as I HAVE to spring, summer, fall, winter... clean my house and I don't even know if I can find my vacuum. It's here somewhere... under... all this... whatever it has evolved into.

[Mary]

Thank you,Jeanne,for your kind words! Much appreciated.

[Sheila]

Yes, I also stated my intention to read a N&S variation and then Outlander #8 so...I guess I will be on break when I do that but you will still see my comments here.

Enjoy your other books, Mary.

[Mary]

Cheers,Sheila.

33 Capturing Miss Bennet's Heart: A Pride & Prejudice Variation

This was a light hearted story and good to see darcy appreciate ellizabeth right from the start

[J. W.]

Lenora, I love those... it cuts the angst back a bit.

26 reviews with only a 1.9 star average on Amazon - guess that there is something lacking in this one. Good to knock off another one but too bad it was not more enjoyable.

[Lenora]

34 Darcy's Passions: Pride and Prejudice Retold Through His Eyes
35 Duty Demands: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
36 Suddenly Elizabeth: A Pride and Prejudice Variation


All of these were very good. Suddenly elizabeth has less angst as it takes place before ramsgate and wickhams arrival

[Sophia]

Glad to see you cruising right along, Lenora. :)

[Lenora]

37 The unexpected entail
