the sisters of longbourn and rapture and rebellion sounds interesting!
I keep going back to rapture and rebellon im curious how you think of it
Mary darlin'... I get to pick for you. Woohoo! As we discussed in a previous comment feed... if you were my 'Pick-It-For-Me' partner, I would pick... D&E: The Faces of Love for you. Yeah!! Enjoy my friend.
Anji, my friend, for you I am going to select 1932I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You had a number of good books to select from so I am hoping you get to read the others also some day.

Now that I know you've read it multiple times, I'm even more excited to read it. I'll let you know what I think when I'm done. :)

Patricia, you have a great list! I'm going to choose A Lie Universally Hidden by Anngela Schroeder for you to read. It was a 5-star book for me, and I hope you love it as much as I did! Happy reading!
Kirk wrote: "Hi JW,Especially interesting idea and challenge your list does provide! I choose #7....The P&P Novellas...lol especially since two out of three are about Georgiana Darcy!!! Happy reading!"
Thanks Kirk... looking forward to reading them. I love this exercise. It is so much fun having someone pick it for me. See? I didn't have any angst, freeze-up or anything. Yeah!!!
Wosedwew, I feel honored to be the first to choose for you! I’ve heard good things about Mr Bennet's Dutiful Daughter and the work of Joana Starnes in general, so I’ll send that book your way. Good luck with it!

I've heard good things about that story and I've read several from Joanna Starnes. Looking forward to the book!
Hi Elmo, I'm picking Miss Darcy's Companion: A Pride and Prejudice Variation :) I've never read any variation with Elizabeth in reduced circumstances and this sounds interesting and original. :)
Teresa,I believe I have the honour of choosing your next read!!! Yippee!! Simply because it's the only one on your list that I've read,plus the fact that I thought it was a fantastic,angst filled story,one that I hope you'll enjoy as much as I did,I choose Darcy's Hope:Beauty from Ashes. Looking forward to reading your thoughts!!!
Jeanne-thank you! Great choice! Hope it's a winner!!
Hi Sophie!!! Thank you so much! I'm excited for your pick and will let you know what I think! :)
Hi Sheila!!! I've got to admit I haven't heard of many of these books. So I picked the one that really peaked my interest and looks good! My pick is Courting Mr Darcy by Erin Butler I hope it's good! I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Hi Victoria, for you I've picked Expectations of Happiness by Rebecca Ann Collins. I've read this and will be interested to see what you think. I hope you enjoy it.

Great pick Mary. I've been anxious to read that one for a while. Thanks so much.

Kristin, my choice for you is [book:The Netherfield Affair: A Dark Darcy Mystery. It's on my TBR list and I'd love to know what you think of it, as I've already read most of the others on your list.

Thanks, Sheila. I've heard such good things about it that I'm a little ashamed it's been sitting on my TBR list for so long. The others will remain on my list for the next round of Somone Pick It For Me and I'll add another "old" one to it.
Kirk, I've chosen "Persuasion - Regendered" for you! I hope this will be enjoyable for you and give it it's first review!And thank you Teresa for your pick!
Hi Anjii, thanks for the pick. This has been on my kindle for a while! :)

I read this book today and posted my review. 4 stars
Courting Mr. Darcy: A Pride & Prejudice Variation
Chelsea, thank you for picking Longbourn Library: A Novel of Pride, Prejudice, and Books for me! I needed a happy, cheerful read, and the book gave it to me in spades. As well as a quite swoonworthy Darcy!
Kirk... I did finish my 3 P&P Sequels and the average stars were 3-stars for the set. Thanks for the pick and happy spring.
Victoria wrote: "Kirk, I've chosen "Persuasion - Regendered" for you! I hope this will be enjoyable for you and give it it's first review!And thank you Teresa for your pick!"
Thanks again!!! Alas, I can only give it a 2.5, rounded up to 3. A great idea, no small feat, but that was basically the only change made. Cheers!

Sorry it wasn't a better read Victoria. I read it some time ago and found it hard going. Was interested to see what someone else thought. I haven't even started mine yet!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Victoria. Think I got a post mixed up earlier, Thought you had read it and didn't like it. Don't know what I was looking at!! Doh!

I finished reading 1932 by Karen M. Cox today and for those who haven't read it yet, it's really good and I can definitely recommend adding it to your TBR lists, because none of us have enough to read, do we? Thanks so much for picking it for me, Sheila.
You're welcome. I am glad you also enjoyed it. I have read others by this author which rated high praise also.
Mod
Thanks for picking for me, wosedwew. :)

I am so glad you enjoyed it. Karen is a good author and I have read other books by her.
Sorry guys but I'm not going to get to my read for this month. Can't settle to much at the moment. Reading a couple now that I want to get finished. Thanks to Mary anyway for picking for me and I am sorry about this.
Teresa,sometimes life just gets in the way. I think we all understand that. I haven't been able to concentrate on much JAFF lately either.
Mod
No worries Teresa... like Sophia said, it will be there when you can and are able to read it.
Thanks guys. I wouldn't mind but it's one I've been wanting to read for some time.
Just finished my April "you pick 'em"Mr Bennet's Dutiful Daughter
Thanks Abigail -- great book but so much angst I had to take "Solitaire breaks" -- I'll look for something light for the next one!
Ugh, yes, too much angst can be, well, too much—when one has some angst in one’s own life, especially! Glad you liked it in the end, though.
Abigail wrote: "Ugh, yes, too much angst can be, well, too much—when one has some angst in one’s own life, especially! Glad you liked it in the end, though."I wonder if a life could be more angst-free than mine right now??? Maybe that's why I need anxiety in my weading wist -- just in small doses!
I felicitate you on your good fortune! :-)
