FREE - The Daughters of Delaford Kindle Edition
by Lucia Edgerton

Hi, friends, I discovered a lost box of giveaway copies of my 2014 book An Obstinate, Headstrong Girl and would like to offload them. I could run another GoodReads giveaway but would rather give them out in this group. It is clean but rather political, which has put off some readers. I can't give away Kindle copies, my publisher controls that, only paperback. (Sadly, they also control price so the book has always been ridiculously expensive.)

PM me with your mailing address if you are interested.

Thanks for sharing that The Daughters of Delaford is currently free.

I also voted on Cover Wars on my Tablet and it is now 297/301

Also, thank you Abigail for sharing this opportunity with us here.

Thanks, Chelsea and Abigail!

I also just discovered that another book by this author called Mrs. Dashwood Returns: A Continuation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility is also currently free.

Just released Captain Wentworth's Christmas Wish: A Persuasion Variation !! ☺

I'm interested Abigail in your book ( having problems finding messaging to send my address)

You can just write to me at habigailbok@gmail.com if you like, Patricia.

What a generous idea, Abigail! I already have your book :)

A little later than usual, here is what I have lined up at Babblings of a Bookworm this month:

http://babblingsofabookworm.blogspot....

I loved Abigail's book! I was lucky enough to win a copy in a giveaway when it was first published. Anyone who hasn't read it, get in touch with Abigail right now!

The same for me and I agree!!!!

Thank you, Ceri (and especially for your kind review, which was my only British review for a long time), as well as Anji and Kirk!

Just saw this freebie, via the My Love for Jane Austen facebook page. It's an MP follow on.

Becoming Sir Thomas: A Jane Austen Novella

Free in US: https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Sir-T...

Also UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Becoming-Sir...

I think I mentioned this in last month's promotion feed, if not: Leenie Brown has a deal on her A Very Mary Christmas: A Pride and Prejudice Novella at $1.49. It has a new cover so you may not recognize it.

Lari Ann O'Dell has put two of her books on sale for 99 cents

Mr. Darcy's Kiss
Mr. Darcy's Ship: Pride & Prejudice Reimagined

Sale lasts until 12-7

Just seen on the Meryton Press FB page that Alias Thomas Bennet: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Suzan Lauder is celebrating its 5th birthday. Looks like they're having a one day sale to celebrate: $0.99 US and £0.99 UK on Amazon.

Sophie Turner is visiting Babblings of a Bookworm with the third book in the 'Constant Love' series, A Season Lost: A Pride & Prejudice Continuation. Sophie's offering a giveaway of any of the books in the series, so please drop by :) http://babblingsofabookworm.blogspot....

The Jane Austen Project is currently on sale for $1.99.

That's a good one, Debbie! Not really much romance but a cracking good portrayal of Jane Austen herself.

I've had my eye on it, so I grabbed it when I saw it was on sale! I've got a bunch of Christmas P&P that I'll probably read first. Seems like EVERYBODY has a Christmas book out! (So glad many of them are in KU)

I agree that Miss Bingley's Christmas was really different and I remember really liking it.

Mr. Darcy & Elizabeth: London in Love: a Pride and Prejudice Variation Romance
is currently FREE

This is the first JAFF from this author and IMO the weakest but far from the worst story you'll ever read

Currently free: Petals: A Rancho Valle Short Story. Apparently it's a modern Pride and Prejudice.

Here's a note on FB from Martine Roberts about another cover contest:

Still plenty of time to vote. Please share and ask your friends to vote too
I don't get anything other than a cyber badge for winning, but it would mean a lot to me.
A BIG Thank You from me. M xx
Hi everyone. I am so excited. The cover of one of my books, Mr Darcy's Proposal, has been entered into the SASSY BRIT BOOKCOVER AWARD. I don't get anything for winning, only a cyber badge, but it would mean a lot to me. I would really appreciate it if all of my friends and followers could vote for me. It's real easy to do, just click on the link below, scroll down to the SMALL picture of my book, put a tick in the box next to it and press VOTE, simple! Again, it's Mr Darcy's Proposal. Thank you all so much, fingers crossed.

You must page down to the small covers to record your vote

I went and voted, and so far it's not even close--Martine's book is WAY ahead of all the others. Let's keep it there!

Just placed my vote. It's got over 61% of the vote. Wow!

Just voted, it said you could vote once a week. You can also switch browsers and it will take another vote. I don't know about other devices. I haven't tried that yet.

I just voted for this book and it had a large lead so hopefully it stays that way. I actually have this book on my TBR List.

Thank you both for sharing these freebies.

Debbie... thanks for the notice on those Reina Williams Rancho Valle books. I have read several of her books but not this series. Now I can add to my list. These are labeled with a 'Heat level: Sweet' tag. Just saying.

Thanks, Wose for the freebie

Forgiving Season is 2.99

I got this info from a FB site. If the author posts again, I will mention it here.
