Austenesque Lovers TBR Pile Challenge 2018 discussion

If you are willing to place one of your December reading choices in the hands of another person, leave a comment here with at least five books and no more than ten from your TBR shelf. Participants need to leave comments no later than November 20th.

Here's how it will work:
Sophia will match people up and leave a comment with a list of who will choose for whom.
When you see the person you are to pick for, then just look at their list in the above comments and leave a new comment with their name and the book you chose for them by November 30th.

You also need to watch and see what book your person chose from your list for you.
You have the rest of the month to read the book.

So if this sounds like something you would like to do, just comment below leaving your name and list of book choices for someone to pick your December book.

Tough to decide what books I want to potentially be my last Austenesque of the year. LOL But, here we go. Looking forward to whatever my book buddy chooses.

Sophie,

I would like to try this again. When I participated the last time, I actually read more books:

1. Ms. Darcy's Beaux by Eliza Shearer
2. The Unreformed Mr. Darcy by Lin Mei Wei
3. Whispers of the Heart by Jann Rowland
4. Until My Last Breath by Rose Lorin
5. Where There's a William Darcy by Regina Jeffers

Thanks!
Joan

I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass on this round. Real life has me behind on all my reading obligations. I have several books lined up to read so I will be busy. See you in the next round.

No worries! Enjoy your books, Jeanne.

I too will have to pass. Family things happening and my TBR is HUGE!!!!

I get that one, Teresa. LOL

I'm still choosing titles to fit in with my self-imposed author name 'alphabet challenge' (having completed my book title one).


1. Heather C. Myers - Swimming in Rain
2. Isabelle Mayfair - Never So Bewitched By Any Woman: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Going to have to use a bit of licence with my "U" and "Y" choices, as I don't have any published works by an author whose first name begins with those letters. so, here goes:

3. Darcy's Voyage by Kara Lo"U"ise
4. Pride & Prejudice & Assassinations by Leo Charles Ta"Y"lor
5. Darcy on the Hudson: A Pride and Prejudice Re-imagining by Mary L"Y"don Simonsen

No! Post away as the selections haven't been posted yet. I know Sophia is busy. :)

Sorry, all!

It totally slipped my mind. My calendar reminded me early and I dismissed the reminder b/c I thought I could remember to do it later that day. Yeah, no. LOL

I'll give you time to get your list up, Dana. Just post your picks as soon as you can and make sure you pick for the name you drew. :)

Here are the names picking for one another. Please let your person know what book you have chosen for them by December 1st. Name on the left picks for the name on the right. Don't forget to stop by and check what your person picked for you, too.
Happy Reading!!!!

Hi Tlotem! I am choosing :)

I made quick work of it and did enjoy it. After a slow start, it bloomed. Thanks!!!!

Hi Patricia.

I'm picking The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen for you. Hope you love it as much as I do!

Maybe over the 12 days or a cold winter's night!

I see you're on a roll. LOL

More of cranberry sauce than a roll...:)

Hi Joan,

I'm choosing for you : The unreformed Mr Darcy by Lin Mei Wei. I haven't read it yet but I'm interested to know your opinion of it. I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you Patricia, I will be happy to read it.

Been away for a few days with no internet. Can't see a pick for me yet, so I'm going to start Darcy’s Voyage.

Joan, please pick another book from my list and I'll read it afterwards.

Tiotem, I am ready to go. I hope that the book is as good as the reviews that I read.

Anji,

I picked Pride and Prejudice and Assasinations. It looks promising. I hope you enjoy Darcy's Voyage. I read it and enjoyed it.

Joan

Thanks Joan. I'm enjoying what I've read of Darcy's Voyage so far. Will go straight on to your pick afterwards.

I had a lovely time reading Mr. Darcy's Christmas Calendar. Thanks, Kirk!

The holiday magic and a modern heroine appearing in the P&P novel while it was edited was a fun notion.

Patricia wrote: "Hi Tlotem! I am choosing :)

Thank you Patricia, it was an very engaging read that I would recommend to every Pride and Prejudice lovers. It was such a whirlwind that now I need to settle a little bit. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel.

Great!! I forgot completely about choosing it for you. I reread it and thru my massive cold had strange dreams about the story.

Oh wow! Cold dreams. Yikes!
