I saw these marked as free on https://www.facebook.com/MyLoveforJan...
The Invitation: A 'Pride and Prejudice' Variation Vignette
Seeking Mr. Dependable
Wasted Words

I also saw a promo to get $3 towards a selection of Kindle books so I am including the link for it as well: https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/pro...
I don't know if it will have any books that will interest anyone here but thought it would share it just in case.

For those who love a good dragon story... book 1/3 from Maria Grace is $0.99. I LOVE this series. OMG! She is working on another as we speak with a nod to Persuasion. I can't wait.

Pemberley: Mr. Darcy's Dragon

I LOVED this series (although I hate to admit I haven't read the prequel yet) and look forward to reading the one she is working on now as well.

Not sure if this is the group for this info but I found this video in YouTube yesterday and thought others might enjoy it.

It’s about English society in the time of Pride and Prejudice.

Leenie Brown's book is about to leave the KU program. Last chance to download it before it is gone. For an excerpt and information... check out her Monday post. Heavy sigh... it was so cute.

HA! "In fact, over 300 novels have been written in the last 20 or 25 years that either adapt the story or extend the story of Pride and Prejudice in some way."

A little bit of an underestimate, I would say!

Author Sarah Courtney visits Babblings of a Bookworm today with a double book post featuring both a modernisation and a Regency variation of Pride & Prejudice. Please drop by to learn more about the books and have the chance to win an ebook: https://babblingsofabookworm.blogspot...

Thank you for sharing, I remember reading that book with KU last year and really liking it so I think I will buy it while it's on sale.

Ending soon [Feb 15] the $0.99 deal from Leenie Brown [note: Amazon shows a different cover]:

Listen to Your Heart: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Don't forget about the Austen Authors Quarterly Giveaway that ends February 16, 2020. Make sure to get all your entries in before it ends and Good Luck Everyone!

Audible UK are having a sale. Each day there'll be a different selection on offer for a bargain price of £3. One of today's selection is Rosamund Pike's wonderful performance of Pride and Prejudice. Lots of other classics on offer today, too.

Don't know if this sale is happening elsewhere, but if you love audiobooks, then it's worth checking for on the appropriate site where you live.

An Unsuitable Governess: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Violet King is currently on sale for 99 cents in the U.S. I don't recall the usual price, but I know I had it marked on my TBR list as "expensive," so this is probably a good deal.

My review for Mimi Matthews' The Winter Companion, due to release tomorrow (Tuesday, Feb 11), is up at https://austenprose.com/2020/02/10/th... (It's actually Victorian, but I guess it must qualify as "Austenesque" since it was assigned to me for the blog!)

I just saw that Pride And Prejudice And Valentine's Day: An Erotic Variation is free if anyone is interested.

Debbie, I had originally marked 'An Unsuitable Governess' as no-thank-you, but I'll try it at this reduced price. Thanks for the notification.

Thank you for sharing, I just added that to my TBR List earlier this morning.

I also just noticed that Apprehension and Desire: A Tale of Pride and Prejudice is currently free.

You have got to read this Valentine excerpt from Maria Grace. Not everyone receives her emails so I am including the link to her website. LOL! Wait for it. You will have to endure a bit of Lydia before you get to the nugget. However, it will be worth the wait. It is the very last that is so hilarious. OMG! What fun.

Thank you, this book was on my TBR List. On the Goodreads page the Amazon Kindle Price says $4.99 but if you go to Amazon it is free here in the US.
