Most of these are rereads I want to read again in 2023, only When Summer Never Came: A Pride & Prejudice Variation is completely new

[Sophia]

Wow, you all are golden!

I'm started with A Folly of Youth by Amy D'Orazio, but I think this will be a multi-read challenge. :)

[Katja]

I think I am going to go with Portraits of Pemberley

Already read Storm and Longbourn's distinguished guest.

[abmom]

I'm going to choose as I go and will post at the end of the month on my progress.

[MichelleH]

I'm going with Melanie Rachel's An Accidental Scandal, and Mr. Darcy, Downstairs by Valerie Lennox. And then I may come back to the list and choose some to reread since it's been quite a while since I've read some of them.

[Kirk]

Selected and just read The Adventures of Miss Olivia Wickham.

[wosedwew]

I will begin with a re-read of Folly and Forgiveness: A Pride and Prejudice Variation.
Others may follow.

I think I will, too, Sophia. It’s been fun seeing all the links.

Yes, we have some great choices here, Anne. :)

First one finished,
An Accidental Scandal: A Pride and Prejudice Novella by Melanie Rachel

Very good as expected from this author - a solid 4*.

[MichelleH]

I've read both of my picks from the lists. Melanie Rachel's An Accidental Scandal, and Valerie Lennox's Mr. Darcy: Downstairs. Both really good in completely different ways. I'm on the fence about rereads like I had originally thought I might do. My wish lists of new books released in the past few months I want to get to is calling me. Not to mention older titles in my TBR.

You've done great. And, I say go with the direction your reading mood is taking you. :)

Second one completed - Miss Gardiner: A Variation on Pride and Prejudice by Martin Hunnicutt

This was a reread for me as I read it when it first came out. I have to confess it didn't stand up as well as I hoped but I would recommend it for a single read although I don't think I shall be going back to it again.

[Sam]

Didn't get to:
With My Whole Heart Forever

[Craftyhj]

well done Sam - I have never read Thursday's Child. I know the story line may leave some readers uncertain but I think perhaps I will give it a go. It has one of the loveliest covers in the genre!

[Sam]

Yes and it really portrays Elizabeth's emotions.

Reading this one you need to suspend reality a tad due to the premise, but it is well written and a nice story.

[Anne]

I forgot to update- I read Her Summer at Pemberley about Kitty. It was good but here you needed to suspend disbelief because of the Royal subplot.

[Craftyhj]

Three more for me,
Drive and Determination by Kara Louise 4.5*
Love Letters from Mr. Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Novella by J. Dawn King 4*
A Covenant of Marriage by C.P. Odom 4.5*

I have another one part read but I think it will take a couple more days to finish (especially if I keep getting distracted by other books!)

[Sophia]

You're doing great with this month's challenge! Drive and Determination is an oldie, but a goodie. :)

[Katja]

I have lost track of which of my July readings were from this thread but I think at least a couple of Joana Starnes and Abigail Reynolds books were mentioned.
