Here are my favorites from 2017:

Darcy by Any Other Name by Laura Hile
The Honorable Mr. Darcy by Jennifer Joy
The Best Part of Love ..."

LOL! I know the feeling, Anne. If it wasn't already on my TBR, it will be now. Great list. I have so many wonderful books for which I can anticipate. :)

[bookcover:Believing in Darcy: A Pride..."

A few of those were favorites for me, too. Oh, nice possibilities from your non Jane Austen's too.

Victoria wrote: "Since's it's almost 8 pm on NYE, this will be my only Catherine Morland post! Book #22: "Rosings" by Karen Aminadra was a solid 3 stars! It would have been 4 if the end wasn't so rushed!

My review..."

Ah, bummer for the rushed ending. But yay on slipping on in on the Catherine level, Victoria. See you in the 2018 group. :)

Way to bring it home strong right down to the last, Lenora, Sheila, and Kirk! Such a great lead in to the New Year.

Wishing you all well! :)

Oh wow! Your visit to the Vyne sounds fantastic. I remember the Austen connection from when I read Jane and The Twelve Days of Christmas. Have a great time.

And yay, congrats on slipping a few more books in before the New Year. :)

Wow! Heartbreaking can be some of the best stories.

Now, that does sound like a lovely way to ring in the new year and hey, yes, dream about that Col Fitz!

Ooh, bummer the last two were only so-so, Sheila, but at least you got them off your stack. :)

Yay for slipping one more in for the end of the year count, Ahnya! :)

Debbie wrote: "Okay. Just back from seeing the latest Star Wars flick. If you haven't seen it, go. It's AWEsome!

Now... back to my list:

- Love Unsought

- [book:T..."

Ooh, good to know about Wade H. And about Star Wars.
Heartstone is definitely on my radar for next year.

Teresa wrote: "Mary had sent me some short Austenesque stories. Can they be included or would it be cheating as they are just shorties?"

Yes, shorties count. There is no page requirement. Enjoy your stories, Teresa. :)

Debbie wrote: "My personal faves (there are a lot). There are others that I rated 5 stars that didn't make this list, so even though it's long, I really did sift though and eliminate many others. I'd read any of ..."

You read a bunch of good ones. I think its great that you read so many good ones. :)

Chelsea wrote: "29.) The Gentleman's Impertinent Daughter: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

I may reach 30 by the end of the year at this rate but my next book is longer than the last few."

Oho! A big challenge. Going for the big 3-0, Chelsea! :)

Sarah wrote: "My fave Austen-inspired books of the year:

You have me intrigued by A Summer for Scandal. Love your list, Sarah, and thanks for adding the extra explanation for why you loved it.

Teresa wrote: "I'm in! Failed dismally this year but I'm going for Anne Eliott again. I have a few non fiction Austen I want to get to this year so fingers crossed I'll make it."

That's wonderful that you're going for it again, Teresa. I'll be keeping you company in the Anne level. :)
