Austenesque Lovers TBR Pile Reading Challenge 2015 discussion

My JAFF TBR list is quite long but the TBR list of books I own has been dwindling due to the amount of reading I have done this year. Since I will be making some purchases soon I was curious what everyone's favorites were so far this year. I also read a lot of historical fiction in general so favorites in that genre would also be welcome.

I will start. My top 3 so for *this year* in no particular order are: Ardently: A Pride and Prejudice Variation, Mr. Darcy's Rival, Pride and Proposals: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Bonus historical fiction favorites: Prelude for a Lord, Everstone Chronicles The Hesitant Heiress, Not by Sight

Happy reading!

My favorite for this year has been Pen and Prejudice, followed by the Stanley Michael Hurd trilogy doing P&P from Darcy’s point of view (2nd editions; the first one is Darcy's Tale, Volume I: Into Hertfordshire).

Darcy's Tale!

My favourite three for this year have been:
Sanditon: Jane Austen's Last Novel Completed, which ended up more Georgette Heyer than Austen, but I thoroughly enjoyed it anyway;
The Muse: A Pride and Prejudice Variation - P&P in world of ballet
and
Henry Tilney's Diary which is Northanger Abbey from Henry's point of view

I loved Darcy's Tale as well! Read that right at the end of last year :) I love P&P stories from Darcy's point of view!

@Ceri - I actually own Sandition and haven't read it but I am not sure where it's at. Since you liked it so much I will have to dig through my bins of books and find it. I need more bookshelves! I also loved The Muse and Henry Tilney's Diary. Ballet + JA = automatic <3

@Abigail - Pen and Prejudice wasn't even on my list! I added it thank you!

@Monica - I also read the Falmouth Connection late last year and loved it. It is a fun twist when Elizabeth has her own fortune.

These are some top notch recommendations! Makes me want to re-read the ones I have read.

So far my favourites for this year have been Emma and Elizabeth, a continuation of the Watsons, and Holidays With Jane: Christmas Cheer a short story anthology set during Christmastime.

As for historical fiction: With Every Letter, probably my absolute favourite for this year! Paper Roses and The Secret of Pembrooke Park.

This year my favs have been:
1. Searching for Captain Wentworth
2. The Beresfords
3. Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen Naxos audio edition

Honorable Mentions:
1. Dearest Friends: A Jane Austen Inspired Novel
2. Revisit Mansfield Park: How Fanny Married Henry
3. Lucky 13
4. the whole trilogy, but starting with Accidentally Yours

I owned Sanditon for quite a while and only finally got round to reading it because it was chosen as the 'somebody else select my next read' book. I wished I'd read it sooner :)

Oh, Searching for Captain Wentworth! I loved that book! One of the first Austenesque books for me... if I'm not mistaken! :P

The Suspicion at Sanditon (Or, The Disappearance of Lady Denham) is a 5-star favorite of mine this year.

I have the rest of that series to read, only read the MP one so far, which I enjoyed. Need more reading time!

For me, probably a tie between Barbara Cornthwaite's two parter series...

Lend Me Leave (George Knightley, Esquire #2)
Charity Envieth Not (George Knightley, Esquire #1)
