I've added this to my TBR Sheila on the strength of your five stars. Sounds interesting.

I do hope you enjoy it. You must keep a sharp mind to remember who is who in the latter one.

Kind of what I need at the moment. Trying to keep focused. Not easy right now.

Trucking on thru! Great and a good batch too.

[J. W.]

Trucking as... with the pedal to the metal. I've been in a lull for a bit but with the weather becoming summer-ish... as soon as that low pressure spins by and dumps all its rain... I will be on my deck reading again. Thanks Kirk. I suppose you will be on your bike... yes?

Hoping! A small physical issue and weekend events have kept me off the bike lately. Drat!!!! Happy Deck reading! TMI warning: I'm a late night reader.

[J. W.]

No worries, Kirk. You'll be back in the saddle... em... seat again soon. Hang in there. I've read past the midnight hour many times. It is easy to do with all the fabulous books we have at our disposal.

[Debbie]

Okay, finally caught up! The first one I read almost 2 weeks ago. The second is pretty short and I polished it off between last night and this morning.

134. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Earl of Matlock - 3.5 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Glad to see a high rating for Son of a Preacher Man since I've got that one to read, too.

You're in for a treat, Sophia. I'm three quarters of the way through it and it's amazing!

[Sheila]

138.) Mysterious Mr. Darcy: A Pride & Prejudice Variation 4.5 stars

[Debbie]

I'm thrilled that Karen is re-releasing At the Edge of the Sea, which I read a while back. I've been holding off on putting Son of a Preacher Man on my TBR pile until I find out if there are any changes besides the cover and title. Don't want to buy it again if I already own the same story!

[Debbie]

Hey, hey, hey, everybody! Lookee what I found! JAFF author Leslie Diamond interviewed our own Jeanne Garrett (a.k.a. J. W. here), and then Jeanne interviewed Leslie. All on the Austen Variations website. Check it out:
http://austenvariations.com/interview...

[Sheila]

I saw that but didn't read it yet as I am catching up on comments to the latest chapter for Unexpected...after reviewing Mysterious Mr. Darcy: A Pride & Prejudice Variation

[J. W.]

Oh Debbie... thanks for the plug. What fun... I had a blast.

[Sheila]

139.) The Earl's Conquest 5 stars

[Marlene]

Debbie, thanks for the alert! Jeanne, what an interesting career history! It does take a special kind of person to teach special needs kids. It makes me think of an epiphany I had in church today. Had Paul not been in prison, we may not have had my favorite part of the Bible - Paul's letters!!! It's not an obvious comparison, but do you see what I mean?

[J. W.]

Yes... Joseph also went through trials that were turned around and saved his family and a nation. I am not of that caliber but what some might think was a terrible thing... was turned into a rewarding career. It is well. Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the interview.

[Debbie]

I've got books to add! Very interesting unpublished P&P in this batch (The End Is Where We Start From).

136. Caroline Bingley’s Perfect Plan: A Pride & Prejudice variation - 2.5 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

137. How to Rescue a Lady: A Sweet Pride & Prejudice Variation Short Story - 4 stars

140. A Higher Education: A Modern Retelling of Pride & Prejudice - 4 stars

Great. Looks like you enjoyed most of these.

[Abigail]

Steaming right along, Debbie! Thanks for the heads-up about the unpublished one!

[Sophia]

Whew, Debbie! Looking good.

I'll have to check that one out.

Abigail, I have my calendar marked that your first of 2 days of back operations is tomorrow. I have you in my prayers.

[Abigail]

How sweet of you to mark your calendar! It’s actually Wednesday and Thursday, but I’ll be grateful for the prayers any day!

[Sheila]

I have been praying every day so that is not a mistake.
