  1. I am always amazed by how obscure some of the texts are on your lists! Have you actually read Jew of Bath or any of the plays? I would be curious to know more about them.

  2. I can’t believe how many books out there predate 1995. Even though the 1995 movie adaptions brought on a huge surge of books, there were many in existence prior!

    This is the list that I have read the least of, I have only read the books by Syrie James, Nancy Moser and about half of the Stephanie Barron Mystery series. I would love to read Jane Bites Back and the two Jill Pitkeathley books.

  3. i won a signed copy of ‘Jane and the Stillroom Maid’ by Stephanie Barron which now has me waiting for her Canterbury Tale asap{ublished}!
    yay #AustenesqueExtravaganza for keeping us informed! this is where i noticed the flash for it in your widget ~ thx Meredith!
