  1. Meredith,

    I think it is great that you’re doing this. I’ve only read eight of those, and as I was perusing the other comprehensive lists, I realized that I had quite a ways to go if I want to say I have seriously sampled what is available. I think I’ll just bookmark these as reading lists.

  4. I’m off to Amazon again – I wonder if I can find a copy of The Strange Marriage of Anne de Bourgh (you may remember that I adored Conviction – did you discuss this work in your interview with Ms. Burris?) and The Bennets? Any ideas on where to find a copy of Wickham’s Treachery?

    Again, Meredith, I must reiterate how much I adore these lists. It’s like Christmas in summer. Thank you!

  7. Thank you, ladies! I am glad that you found this list helpeful!

    – Alexa: I believe The Strange Marriage of Anne de Bourgh is only available on Kindle. Kate Warren’s books used to only be available on lulu.com. I am very interested in reading a P&P prequel!

  8. I *CAN* believe how many there are, and still aren’t enough, IMO! It’s a mere fraction of what I see online, many of which I wish would be published. I only wish it were easier to differentiate the styles of stories so it would be easier to know which ones a given fan would prefer.
