What is the modern Mrs. Darcy?

Amy wrote: "What is the modern Mrs. Darcy?"

Modern Mrs. Darcy is a book blogger. She has a wonderful podcast (my TBR always grows when I listen to her) and each year she also does a book challenge. Last year was very lengthy....I didn't complete it because I was focused on PBT. For 2018, her challenge is very manageable. With her challenges, I do record titles for both PBT and Modern Mrs. Darcy.

I’m looking forward to trying this challenge. I wasn’t able to do last year’s challenge so was looking forward to this year’s. Good thing it is not as hard as last year’s because I’m just getting over my reading slump and such.

Yes last years list was very long. I know I was able to complete part of it. This year's list is much more manageable.
