Happy new Year!

1200017 301. A Successful Elopement; a Pride & Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... 4 stars. When Georgiana successfully elopes with Wickham, Darcy handles the situation and Wickham brilliantly but is tainted with scandal and is shunned by society including Lady Catherine and Caroline (Yay!). So, the Darcy coming to Hertfordshire is different and this leads to fewer misunderstandings between ODC.
302. Reader, I Married Him https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 4 stars. As usual, a very good but dark story from this author.
303. Irresistibly Alone https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... 5++ stars. I love stories where Darcy is friendly and supportive to Elizabeth. This is a prime example for that trope.
304. Friendship: Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 3.5 stars.
305. Follies and Nonsense: A Variation on Pride and Prejudice https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 5 stars. This is a very well written story in which Elizabeth is a well connected and rich widow with a son though it's not well known outside. The Bennet parents are at their best.
306. Turnabout: A Regency Romance inspired by P&P https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... 4 stars. I loved the whole Meryton gang in this story. Villains are handled brilliantly while the Bennets are the best and no Wickham!
307. Her Sisterly Love https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 5 stars. A really good story with a great Elizabeth. Beautiful sisterly bond which I loved.
308. Doubt Not, Cousin: A Pride & Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... 5 stars. This is a story for Colonel fans. Though a bit graphically violent, the story was intriguing and sweet at places.
309. An Odd Situation: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 5 stars. A very fun story. Darcy starts with coma with an alert mind and later becomes speechless for a time which helps in him wooing Elizabeth quickly. Who knew, a mute Darcy makes a better suitor!
310. To Wake the Sleeping Dragon: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 3 stars. Though the international intrigue was interesting, the story and characters were a bit OOC and OTT for my taste. And the author is too fascinated with big numbers historical and mathematical realities go for a toss.
311. The Warmth of Her Affection: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... 5 stars. I read this story as a WIP. Loved it then and loved it now.
312. Just Deserts: A Pride & Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... 4 stars. This Elizabeth is more blunt than witty and puts everyone in place.
313. Mark of Character: A Pride and Prejudice Soulmark Story https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... 5++ stars. Very captivating and beautifully written fantastical story. Caroline is more despicable than ever assisted by her sister and of all people, Wickham. The bond between ODC is sweet and heart wrenching.
314. From Another Perspective: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... 4 stars. A unique and interesting variation which follows the original story from different POVs of minor characters and a few servants.
315. Once Upon a Time in Pemberley https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... 5 stars.

326. A Matter of Prudence https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... 5 stars.
327. The unexpected visitor https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14091000... 4 stars. Amusing one shot.
328. Ten facts about Fitzwilliam Darcy https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6719284/.... 5 stars. Hilarious!
329. Agony https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6640410/1/0 3.5 stars. When Darcy returns for his forgotten gloves at the parsonage, what he finds there resolves his situation really fast.
330. The safest plan https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13455202/0/ 5 stars. Darcy has a plan to escape the matchmaking mammas of the ballroom. Amusing one shot.

1200017 Well Jeanne, I agree with you and Sam about Bingley and Georgiana. In that story all our villains got their way (Lady Catherine, Caroline, Wickham) except Collins (Is he even a villain?) But in the end ODC also got their way after all.
Nov 26, 2023 09:42AM

1200017 Sam, I don't remember it as being bad at all. We've the usual Lydia drama and all but Darcy and Elizabeth are older by 7 years not quite sure of the other's feelings. I do tend to forget much details but since I gave it 4 stars, I don't think there was much disturbing and didn't need a tissue either. May be, Jeanne remembers it differently?
Nov 25, 2023 07:11AM

1200017 Sorry for posting so late. I finished Out of Obscurity sometime ago and enjoyed it, though I feel the romance could've been better. Thanks for the recommendation.
Nov 22, 2023 07:48AM

1200017 Long time since I posted anything. What to say, life kept me busy, sickness and celebrations alike. Hope to be prompt in the future.
Nov 22, 2023 07:46AM

1200017 271. Rescuing Elizabeth Bennet: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 4.5 stars. I really liked this book a lot. My only (not really a) complaint being that this story reminded me too much of The Journey by Jan Hahn including the villain except the path to HEA was relatively shorter.
272. Saving Jane: A Variation on Pride and Prejudice https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 4.5 stars. Interesting variation. Many changes to original plotline. I felt Jane's HEA could've been more than just hinted at, after all it's her name in the title and poor Lydia was left hanging out to dry.
273. Mr. Darcy Dances: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 5 stars. Reading this book was way too fun. Darcy with a character transplant, thanks to Caroline and Elizabeth still manages to get annoyed at him. This Darcy is so sweet and vulnerable and of course, loveable by everyone.
274. Epiphany: A Pride & Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 5 stars. Re-read. Even better the second time around because you know Anne will get on your last nerves going in which annoyed me a lot the first time.
275. Chocolate, curls and dragons https://forum.darcyandlizzy.com/index... 4 stars. Elizabeth and Darcy meet as children when Darcy is hiding from Lady Catherine who's trying to kidnap him (?) and of course, our Lizzy rescues him. Thus she enters Pemberley and meets the Darcy family. But I don't understand why this makes Mr. Darcy decide on a six year old for his future daughter-in-law. Anyway, our 12 year old Darcy promises to visit Elizabeth after she turns 20 and he does. Though portions of the story felt a bit unbelievable, like why would Darcy have a congenial relationship with his aunt who kidnapped him as a child, it was enjoyable. The last few chapters dealing with the next generation actually felt like an extended epilogue.
276. Hearts entwined https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14267327... 4 stars. A comparatively low angst story. Darcy is a second son in this and Anne Darcy is alive and very supportive. The chemistry between ODC is instant and no misunderstanding between them.
277. Regency Therapy https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... I didn't finish this book. Though it has Austen in the series name, the only connection is the resort in which the story takes place. The characters were shallow and immature and the story felt juvenile at best. The characters are authors in a writer's retreat but all they do are ogling, flirting, double and triple daring like they are in high school. I did read around 40% of the book but couldn't cook up enough curiosity to get to the end.
278. Legally Darcy: A Modern Retelling of Pride and Prejudice https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 3 stars. It's a modern retelling as the title proclaims but the author was not very successful in the adaptation portion of the story so that some of it felt unnatural for a modern variation.

Particular attachments https://www.dwiggie.com/derby/old_200... I'm not counting this because even though I did start, I couldn't read further when I realized that Darcy and Elizabeth do not end up together which is the biggest no-no for me. Elizabeth marries Bingley and Darcy ends up with Kitty, just a warning for all of you who feel the same as me.

279. When Mary Met the Colonel: A Pride and Prejudice Novella https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... 4 stars. Sweet novella, as the title proclaims, about Mary and the Colonel.
280. Infamous Relations: A Pride And Prejudice "What If?" Tale https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 5 stars. This story has an amazing Jane, a very supportive Colonel , an emotional Darcy, intelligent Charlotte, cunning Lady Catherine and the most horrible Collins. I think he should have suffered more.
281. One Autumn with Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Anthology https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 4 stars. I've read all the stories in this collection seperately previously. I like the bunch of short stories to the novellas.
282. Mr. Darcy, the Dance, and Desire: a Pride and Prejudice variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 4 stars. What if Wickham and Darcy's circumstances were switched but not their characters? Wickham is at his worst (or best depending on the way you look at it)
283. Mr. Darcy's Bite https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... 4 stars. If you like stories with a bit of paranormal element, you will like this. I don't know why this book has such low ratings because I enjoyed it. It was well written with enough humor and romance, relatively clean and without any gore.
284. Love Letters from Mr. Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Novella https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 4 stars. Sweet and cheeky Darcy.
285. Love and Other Machines: A Pride and Prejudice Regency Novella https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 5 stars. Re-read. Like all her novellas, cute and enjoyable. Love this Elizabeth.
286. A Wicked Scheme: A Sweet "Pride & Prejudice" Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 3 stars. Interesting premise which could've been handled better.
287. A Father's Sins: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... 3 stars. Re-read.
288. Her Unforgettable Laugh: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... 4 stars. An interesting start of a trilogy.
289. Laughter Through Trials: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... 3 stars. A bit of a let down of a second book. Though there were many interesting things happening, there were also too many uninteresting details which slowed down and even dragged the story at times.
290. Letters from Cheapside https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 5 stars. Re-read.
291. Away From Longbourn: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... 3 stars. Relatively low angst and bland.
292. Drawing Mr. Darcy: Sketching His Character https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... 5 stars. Re-read.
293. Drawing Mr. Darcy: A Faithful Portrait https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... 5 stars. Re-read. Perfectly written enjoyable duology.
294. Out of Obscurity https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 4 stars. A very interesting variation but as in all his books the romance element was nearly nonexistent.
295. Burnt bridges https://www.dwiggie.com/derby/old_200... 4 stars. 7 years after Hunsford, having not met Elizabeth during her Pemberley visit, Darcy is now a widower who meets Jane as the wife of a successful businessman is intrigued about her sister. Novella length.
296. Giving Consequence; a Pride & Prejudice Variation
Check out this book on Goodreads: Giving Consequence; a Pride & Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... 3.5 stars. Re-read.
297. Their Cottage Near Ramsgate, A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Check out this book on Goodreads: Their Cottage Near Ramsgate, A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... 3 stars. Though the plot is quite original, the speed of the story is quite unbelievable. Everyone's comprehensive abilities and deducing skills are outstandingly impossible.
298. The Laughter of Love: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Check out this book on Goodreads: The Laughter of Love: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 3 stars. This is the last book of the unforgettable laugh trilogy. Though the first book started well, the next two dragged with so much unnecessary content. I felt, the whole story could've been more enjoyable as a well edited, long single novel.
299. Mr. Darcy Steals a Kiss [and Some Other Stuff]
Check out this book on Goodreads: Mr. Darcy Steals a Kiss [and Some Other Stuff] https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... 5+ stars. What fun this story was! Though Darcy was a bit OOC, he was having fun like never before and so was I.
300. Stealing Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Check out this book on Goodreads: Stealing Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 4 stars. This was a gender reversal of Darcy by any other name by Laura Hile and was equally enjoyable.
1200017 271. Rescuing Elizabeth Bennet: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 4.5 stars. I really liked this book a lot. My only (not really a) complaint being that this story reminded me too much of The Journey by Jan Hahn including the villain except the path to HEA was relatively shorter.

296. Giving Consequence; a Pride & Prejudice Variation
Check out this book on Goodreads: Giving Consequence; a Pride & Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... 3.5 stars. Re-read.
297. Their Cottage Near Ramsgate, A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Check out this book on Goodreads: Their Cottage Near Ramsgate, A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... 3 stars. Though the plot is quite original, the speed of the story is quite unbelievable. Everyone's comprehensive abilities and deducing skills are outstandingly impossible.
298. The Laughter of Love: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Check out this book on Goodreads: The Laughter of Love: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 3 stars. This is the last book of the unforgettable laugh trilogy. Though the first book started well, the next two dragged with so much unnecessary content. I felt, the whole story could've been more enjoyable as a well edited, long single novel.
299. Mr. Darcy Steals a Kiss [and Some Other Stuff]
Check out this book on Goodreads: Mr. Darcy Steals a Kiss [and Some Other Stuff] https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... 5+ stars. What fun this story was! Though Darcy was a bit OOC, he was having fun like never before and so was I.
300. Stealing Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Check out this book on Goodreads: Stealing Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 4 stars. This was a gender reversal of Darcy by any other name by Laura Hile and was equally enjoyable.

1200017 Hi Sophia, thanks for the selection. Jann's books are hit or miss for me, hope this'll be one of the good ones.

1200017 Hi Anji, I'm not familiar with any of your books, I choose Game of Kings because it's claims itself as a thriller which is one of my favourite genre, hopefully yours too.

1200017 261. Conspiracy and estrangement https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14187113... 4 stars. Angsty one shot.
262. If you have nothing nice to say https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14068609... 4 stars. Bennet enforces the policy that "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all" in his family and this changes the course of our story.
263. Lost in thought https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14000582... 5 stars. Clean, modern. Elizabeth is a child physchologist who has the power to read minds. But that doesn't help her much when she meets the snooty and confusing Darcy in understanding him any better.
264. The Longbourn Quarantine https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 4 stars. Very interesting and relatable story told in a unique narration.
265. Grandma Bennet https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 4 stars. The author has conceived a way for connection between Darcys and Bennets spanning generations. There are two Elizabeths, one Bennet nee Darcy and another Darcy nee Bennet and both very interesting. Many unexpected twists and turns and a very satisfying ending.
266. Faults of Understanding: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 5 stars. I loved this story. Usually stories that start with misunderstanding and continues with miscommunication tend to give me heartburn but somehow this story was quite enjoyable.
267. Sketching Mr. Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Alternative Journey https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... 4 stars. This story started somewhat similar to my previous read but Darcy was kinder and ODC'S relationship was a lot better.
268. A Faithful Narrative: A Pride & Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... 5 stars. I read this as WIP but hsd forgotten most of it.
269. Total Want of Propriety, Volume 1: Darcy's Reformation : A Pride & Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... I am sure this is a good story but I struggled to read even a portion of it. The narration was a bit too much, too repetitive, too much musings and pondering and adoration that it really tested my patience. With a great big TBR pile, I decided that it's not worth it.
270. Meet Your Mark: A Pride and Prejudice Reimagining https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... 5 stars. A very sweet soul mark story. Very enjoyable.

1200017 251. Unknown Family Connections: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 1 star. I very rarely give one star to a book and equally rarely don't finish it. This was such a horribly written story. I nearly hated every character either because they were seriouly depraved or god like perfect. I regret the three days I wasted trying to finish this.
252. Darcy's Labours of Love: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 5 stars. Re-read. I loved it as much as I did during my first read. A very sweet Darcy.
253. The Reintroduction of Fitzwilliam Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 3 stars. A good variation but the emotions and romance felt somewhat superficial and the propriety of the period was ignored at many instances in the story.
254. Mr. Darcy of Longbourn: A Pride & Prejudice Variation Novel https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... 4 stars. My September read. This was a very good reversal story. The author didn't just switch gender, fortune and status but modified the story so that it'll fit the changes.
255. Darcy's Journey https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... 4 stars. This is a very good and interesting variation with history and geography of the era well blended into the story.
256. Compromise & Consequence https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 4 stars. A forced marriage scenario with an awful Darcy. Fortunately for him and our blood pressure, he reforms quickly. If you like to see a serious Caroline comeuppance, this story will make you happy.
257. The Luxury of Silence: A Variation of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... 5+ stars. Re-read. Better than the first time, if possible.
258. An agreeable compromise https://archiveofourown.org/works/481... 4 stars. First, you have to accept some OOC behaviour from Darcy and Elizabeth. Then, you will be able to enjoy this story with a very sweet Darcy, I'm not very sure about Elizabeth. The story is that Mrs. Bennet has instilled the fear of hedgerows in her daughters very well that when Jane falls ill at Netherfield instead of seducing Bingley into matrimony, Elizabeth agrees to go in her stead to compromise Darcy. But the Darcy she meets there gives her second thoughts about her scheme. Caroline was at her best villainy in this.
259. Falling for Elizabeth Bennet: A Pride and Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... 3 stars. This story, though had a unique story line, was not well formulated. There are not just language errors but logical ones too throughout the story.
260. The Sister She Always Wanted https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 3.5 stars. Low angst. Needs quite a bit of editing to cut down the size and content.
