Three more bows to tie up the ribbon on 2020. Nice!
I do have a bookshelf I'm putting up each year with the books that (IMO, of course) really stood out from the others. Some are re-reads, some aren't JAFF at all, but most are new-to-me JAFF.Anyone interested in seeing which were my favorites in 2020, here's the link:

Wait! I'm not finished! Here are my final reads of 2020:210. The Most Generous Gift, A Christmas Vignette by Nicole Clarkston (unpublished) - 5 stars
Lady Catherine demands that Darcy and a very pregnant Elizabeth come to Rosings for Christmas.
211. The Haunting of Netherfield Park, a Christmas Love Story by Amy D’Orazio (unpublished) - 5 stars
Spooky Christmas story at Netherfield.
212. AN ANGEL IN HER POCKET: A Pride and Prejudice Variation - 4 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
An angel decides Darcy and Elizabeth need extra help to get together.
213. Mr. Darcy & Elizabeth: After the Storm by Alyssa Jefferson (unpublished - Christmas gift from the author to those on her newsletter email list) - 5 stars
A massive rainstorm encompassing Longbourn and Netherfield causes Elizabeth to rescue a puppy, which leads to more (and different) interactions between her and Mr. Darcy.
214. Games of Love and Cruelty - 5+ stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Makes my personal "Best of 2020" list. Very modern. Mature content.
215. Lizzy's Necklace (unpublished - Sign up to receive Jennifer Joy's newsletter and you get this lovely story as a thank you gift.) - 5 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Alternate version of how Darcy and Elizabeth meet that all goes back to a necklace she inherited from her grandmother.

Many thanks for joining me in my happy dance! (And Rose, we've even found our new favorite grocery store!)
I've got 3 or 4. I'm in the middle of one I should be able to finish tomorrow morning, so I'll probably post my final list tomorrow.

Thank you!
Shelley wrote: "Debbie, How is you move coming along? I hope no major issues. Happy Holidays!"Some minor stuff, but nothing major, Shelley. Thanks for asking. Feels really good now that we're here. We will be returning to Myrtle Beach in a couple of days to empty out a storage unit with all the things we didn't want to entrust to the movers, and once we get all that down here we can finish unpacking. Already feeling pretty settled in. Loved spending Christmas with our grandson!! 💕
Wow! Finishing off 2020 with a bang, Sheila! Happy New Year!
The number of books you've read this year is incredible, Lenora! Thank you for your heartfelt message - and the same to you!
Kudos to you, Georgiana and Sophia! Well done, ladies!
Hip, hip, and hooray for you, Sophia!
Whew! I made it! I can enjoy Mr. Darcy's Library for the next few days at least before we all start over again in 2021!We have moved safely into our new Florida home, and now the computer is up and running (YAY!) so I should be able to get back into the flow of reviewing and posting comments.

I've also read some of the online goodies authors have been posting as Christmas gifts for their readers but, sadly, I don't have a record of their names so I'm unable to list them.
Well, I've made it. Got up to the magic 200, so the rest of my books will be listed up in Mr. Darcy's Library.However, these are all books I've been reading over the past weeks whilst in the midst of moving. No reviews. Heck, I don't even remember what these are about, though I did at least give all of them star ratings!
