259. Mrs Collins, Against Her Wishes 4 stars
260. The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen 5 stars - I will be posting a review of this last one later.

Great progress, Sheila!
Your 259 sound ominous, I think I'll stay clear of that...

No, it is really not "ominous". I think you would enjoy it.


SPOILER: The marriage to Collins is never consummated.

I may have to read 259 again, Sheila. I gave it 3-stars but that was usual for a Schertz book. You have to give her credit for a creative take on our P&P story. I'm hoping there was an update to correct that word-wrap problem. It may have been my device.

Thank you, Sheila. I may have a go at it then. I still have the mental images from Mistress on my mind, I care not to add to it ;)
