Mr. Darcy and Mr. Collin's Widow was very good! I'll see if I can also do The Wrong Arrangement this month :)

Sam H. | 434 comments I found it a tough read. Especially the beginning.

Anji | 167 comments Hi. Forgot to come back and post about my pick by Crafthj. It was The Long Journey Home: A Pride & Prejudice Variation by J. Dawn King and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Finished up Holidays with Jane: Will You Be Mine? a couple days ago and it was perfect holiday reading and I think it is my favorite in the Holidays With Jane series so far (I still have two more to read). My fav story was the Northanger Abbey retelling with the modern Catherine investigating a ghost tale, but the modern Mansfield Park with a capable Fanny Price figure ran it a close second. In truth, all the stories were fab.

Appreciate the pick, Kirk!

I’ve read that one this month as well, Sophia. Really enjoyed it. I read the Christmas one in December and am planning on reading the remaining four collections at their appropriate times throughout the rest of this year.

That's a great plan for these. I still have the summer and the fall thanksgiving ones to finish for a first read.

I managed to read both!
Mr. Darcy and Mr. Collins's Widow - 4 stars
The Wrong Arrangement - 3 stars

Thank you for the recommendations!

Sam H. | 434 comments Got mine in before the month ended, Yay!

Abmom, it's a good read. The culprit was kind of obvious, but I really enjoyed the writing.

Craftyhj | 348 comments I sneaked in by the skin of my teeth; I thought I might need to take advantage of the Leap Year!

My book was I Am Jael: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Laraba Kendig.

I am afraid I really didn't like it. 2.5* at best. It was rather too vengeful for my taste.

I am looking forward to my March book.

Yay, for @Sam and @Craftyhj for sneaking their books in under the wire. :)

Bummer yours was a dud, Heather! Onto March. :)
