KristiJ - yes, you had 55 points before - somehow your page and HF bonus points were erased from my sheet, but it's fixed now. :)
Maude, I moved the Roses of No Man's Land tentatively - Christy will need to OK it for the gardening theme. :)
Thanks Becky. I'll wait to hear from Christy.

Carla, that's crazy! I'm reading Austen's Mansfield Park for exactly the same reason. I just started it yesterday and I'm loving it. I've read a great deal of Austen, but not this one. I hope you loved it! Good luck with the rest of the challenge!
