Austenesque Lovers TBR Pile Challenge 2024 discussion

For those who have a hard time discovering the new releases and future releases in Austenesque and JAFF, here is a place where members may post up about those shiny new ones.

This is for published ebooks, paperbacks, or audios. If they have a GoodReads page, please leave the link if you can. If you have a seller link and release date, that would be helpful, too.

Thank you, Sam, for the suggestion!

For those of you who, like me, didn't get an update from Amazon...

Harriet Knowles has a new book out:
Dedication and Devotion: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

A new young Mr. Darcy and Miss Tilney mystery coming out in June.

The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh

Ooh, that sounds like fun! I love to think of Lady C in peril and fulminating about it, and how coarse she would appear next to Miss Tilney. Besides, who wouldn’t want to murder Lady Catherine? There would be a plethora of suspects.

Haha, so true, Abigail!

Not suspects....folks living hundreds of miles away who have never heard of Lady C....maybe???? :)

I LOVE her mashups - I am really excited to read this one. I have some ARCs to finish first but then I shall be "on it like a bonnet".

Without Vanity or Pride releases today!

Pemberley Beach




In Pemberley Beach, worlds collide at a high-society party where Will Darcy slights Elizabeth Bennet’s looks, setting the stage for their tumultuous relationship, fueled by wit, pride, and an undercurrent of desire.

This contemporary twist on Jane Austen’s beloved Pride and Prejudice is set amidst the sun and sand of a modern seashore resort. Elizabeth’s quest to escape the trailer park she grew up in leads her into the path of the arrogant Darcy, owner of beachfront Pemberley estate.

My Brother, Your Sister: A Pride & Prejudice Variation

The Wager

His Family Objects

The Lost Letter: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Are all newly released or published today!

Darcy's Struggle, by Kelly Dean Jolley, released yesterday (June 15). I'm the editor, so I'm not completely unbiased, 😉 but I think it's a gem and HIGHLY recommend it!

I am reading it now.

I must admit, he has an interesting writing style.

I am not finding it the smoothest read, as he makes me think. Either about the content or what he is trying to say in a sentence.

But that makes it deep and not a standard fluff JAFF.

First Attachments - Short Story - full Audiobook - YT 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnVHb...
A sweet memory about Elizabeth's first love. which makes her think Darcy's looks are anything but.

Elizabeth Adams is just 50 ppl shy of the 1k needed for her to begin earning thru her YT channel. Hopefully once she does, she will offer more of her audiobooks on her channel https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethada...

I just finished reading a book that came out earlier this month:
Pride and Justice.

I happened to spot it on a Facebook post or I wouldn't know it existed. If you love Marvel superheroes like Batman, imagine Elizabeth Bennet as a Regency era Batgirl! (I have posted my 5-star review on GoodReads, which is the ONLY review on GR or Amazon so far)

You can get a print copy of it from Amazon, but it's $26.99 USD for a paperback edition and currently they don't seem to offer it in e-book form. HOWEVER, I was able to get an e-pub file direct from the publisher for $9.56 - which will go up 20% after September 30 (tomorrow).

Here's the website:

For fans of Mary Bennet - https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2024/...

I saw on FB that the author Victoria Lynn had died recently. The post said she had an almost finished book due to come out last month but someone else would try to get it published posthumously.
