One of the perks of having ADHD is an endless amount of energy ;) I do not consider having ADHD as a problem that needs to be fixed but a superpower that I have learned to utilize.

Fantastic progress! Hoping to meet you at Permberley soon!

Always love hearing from you, Anji. Sorry August was challenging. Hang in there - you and Trevor both!

I am always glad to hear when a loved one is recovering and continue to pray for both of you, Anji. He is lucky you are there to support and fill in where he is unable.

Debbie: I hope you get through Dorian unscathed, you seem very well prepared though.
Anji: I hope for a speedy recovery for your hubby.
I am hoping to join the Pemberley library in the not too distant future but I am currently reading a massive book on Queen Victoria. It is taking me ages to read (partly because I am saving and memorizing a lot of quirky facts of the era). lol
I am scribbling on a modern variation that needs a lot of research and I have been busy editing and posting my two previous stories. (VVV I have edited 8 times and SW 6 times, sigh!)
PS: Why are all the grammar sites written in ancient Greek and without exception, has a sentence at the bottom that contradicts everything above it! Double sigh...

Debbie: I hope you get through Dorian unscathed, you seem very well prepared though.
Anji: I hope for a speedy recovery for your hubby.
I am hoping to join the Pemberle..."
Oh, how frustrating for you, Elin.

Thanks!!!! Yes yes yes... while neither book was successful...I'm two trails into Pemberley and sooo glad to be back (it sure looked like I wasn't going to make it) on the strength of one shots. Lol...you must been in another wing when I came in a hooting and cheering. :)

The one shots can tide one over nicely while enjoying the journey. Even saw a HP and PnP crossover, Severus Darcy and Hermione Bennet indeed... Intriguing.

Whew, Lenora! You are really cooking. One more batch like this and you'll be waving good bye to the Colonel. Neat to see all those fours and five-ratings. :)


Being away for so long, I've missed giving applause for reading progress lists, or commenting on posts, have missed some big events!
Here's my teensy tiny toe in the water to see The Colonel.
#101 The Darcy Legacy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation Audio version. Loved revisiting this after an entire year. I'd forgotten some great moments. *5
The Colonel is always pleased to have guests visit his Delaford library. Oh yay, first book was a fiver. :)

First up are the Austenesque books that I've had the privilege of putting on my British beta hat for. (Still can't believe I get to do that!)

Edited to add star ratings
You've had an eventful early fall so I think you did well to remember this much, Angie. :)
Whew! Nice list of reads. The Colonel approves. I plan to read When Charlotte Became Romantic soon.

Glad you enjoyed this so much. Good progress.

Great progress, Anji, with some fabulous books.

Finally, I've just finished my Someone Pick It from earlier in the year. It's been in progress for a couple of months now and I actually contemplated marking it as a DNF, as it didn't engage my interest much at all, but I have persisted. Have to confess to skimming the final quarter, though.
164. Colonel Darcy: An Elizabeth and Darcy Story by Timothy Underwood ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good that you can mark off another one - even if you skimmed part of it.

Got my fingers crossed for you, Sheila. The annoying thing is that Trevor was over his cold in about a week, whilst I still have a certain amount of catarrh four weeks later!
Elin wrote: "Wow, Anji! So many good books on your list and I hope your long-lasting cold has finally relented."
Thanks, Elin. Yes, it has been a good bunch, apart from my most recent one. I thought there'd have been more published stories in total since early August and I know I've missed out some unpublished ones from the summer whose titles I can't remember. But then, there's been three beta reads, which usually take a couple of weeks work each considering the time I have available outside other commitments. Some of the other books (such as These Dreams) have been quite lengthy works. That one kept me going on my commutes for nearly a couple of months!

Thanks, Anji.
Loved These Dreams: A Pride and Prejudice Variation and want to reread it but it does have a lot of angst...hard to put down for me.

Nothing pathetic about that list, Michelle! Some great ratings there, with some familiar and well-loved titles, too. Making good progress through the Colonel's Library. It's good to have your company.


Time for a quick update. It's going to be nip and tuck as to whether I'll get to Pemberley in time to celebrate the New Year! We'll actually be in Hampshire, staying with friends in Southampton by then, but I probably won't have a chance to visit any Austen-related places, as I'll be the only Janeite in the company 😢😢😢
