It’s that time again! Since I am home alone this weekend and finding myself with lots of time to fill, I indulged in 
one of my favorite projects: cleaning and reorganizing my bookcase! Which was badly needed…apparently the brilliant organizing I did 6 months ago was flawed because it didn’t leave a lot of room for NEW books (silly Meredith! What were you thinking?)
Hopefully this time, it’ll last more than a two months!
Anyways…my dear readers, I think you know what comes after a bookcase clean…an Austenesque ARC Giveaway! As I’ve told you in previous ARC giveaways, even though the ARCs I receive are in such nice condition and usually include a gorgeous cover picture, I like to own the real thing and eventually purchase copies for myself…(I know, sounds a little crazy!)
ARC stands for Advanced Reader Copy, it is the uncorrected proof copy that publishers release before mass distribution. May have glossy covers and uncorrected errors.
While cleaning and organizing I found 4 books that I have two of and are now looking for new homes…any takers?
Austenland by Shannon Hale*
The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler*
All Roads Lead to Austen by Amy Elizabeth Smith
To Conquer Mr. Darcy by Abigail Reynolds^
*These actually aren’t ARC’s, just gently used copies. (Recently bought different editions)
^Cover and title are slightly different from the published version.
GIVEAWAY TIME!!!!!
If you are interested in winning one of these lovely ARCs for yourself, just leave a comment indicating which book you’d prefer to win! I will randomly select a winner for each book.
(You can enter this giveaway for one book, two books, or all four!)
- This giveaway is open to residents worldwide!
- This giveaway will end September 2nd.
I would like to win and read To Conquer Mr. Darcy by Abigail Reynolds^
I would like to win All Roads Lead to Austen by Amy Elizabeth Smith
I would also like to win The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler*
And yes, finally, as I have not read any of the 4 books I would like to win Austenland by Shannon Hale

It’s a win-win! 🙂
I’ve been known to re-buy eBooks I’ve loved in paperback… you know, for my Austen shelf. (but don’t tell my husband!). I’d love to win a copy of All Roads Lead to Austen, haven’t read that one yet!
LOL! I can completely understand!
Austenland would be my first choice and the Jane Austen Book Club my second choice. I have the other two, although To Conquer Mr. Darcy is under its original title of Impulse and Initiative.

I love this book and have been meaning to buy it!
Thanks for the Giveaway!

i would love to win To Conquer Mr Darcy, please!!
thank you!!!
Wow!! Any of those four would find a lovely home with me!! Thanks!!
Please enter my name to win one of these books! I would be thrilled to win any one of the four but I am really interesting Austenland and To Conquer Mr. Darcy. Thank you!!
Hi Meredith! I would love to win a copy of The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler!
I really need to clean and organize my shelves too. I’m pretty sure I have a couple of doubles myself!
Your shelves are beautiful, btw!
Thank you! I pretty sure this bookcase was 75% of the reason why I wanted to rent this house – now I’m spoiled! 🙂
I have The Jane Austen Book Club, but not any of the others. I have read and loved Austenland, but lended it from the library. So I’d love to win one of the three- To Conquer Mr.Darcy, Austenland or All Roads Lead To Austen.
I love your Austenesque Shelf, Meredith! I’m so excited to get all my Austenesque books sorted in my shelves in the livingroom once all is up and I’ve moved in next week. Will send a pic when I’m done.
Thank you, Katrin! I can easily imagine unpacking your books to be one the most fun boxes to unpack! Yes, please do share some pics!
I would love to win Austenland! Haven’t read that one yet and the movie is coming out soon, so it would be really nice to read it!
I’d love to win The Jane Austen Book Club <3 I somehow lost my copy while moving, and I miss it so much 🙁
Would to read any of them
but
I would like to win TO CONQUER MR DARCY by Abigail Reynolds..
I have read three of the four. I highly recommend “All Roads”. Lol, I enjoyed the movies more for the other two, although I’m glad I read them. Being the only male in a couple of JA bookclubs, I have a particular regard for Grigg. So, I would prefer to try to read “To Conquer My Darcy”. I loved her “The Man who Loved Pride and Prejudice”. Thanks!
Yes, All Roads is fabulous! Loved it so much! And I agree, the movie for The JA Book Club was way better than the novel, but I am glad I read it. I hope I get to see Austenland soon!
I would be happy to win any of them EXCEPT “Austenland” since I already read that book. Thank you!
While I do have an e-book edition of All Roads Lead to Austen,having a physical copy would make me feel more complete(not to mention a great excuse to reread the book!)
I would love All Roads Lead to Austen
Cleaning and organizing my bookshelves is one of my favorite things to do! I would love to win All Roads Lead to Austen by Amy Elizabeth Smith. Thanks for the giveaway!
Kindred spirit! 🙂
I haven’t read any of those so I will be happy to have any but the two which I have high on my list are Austenland by Shannon Hale and The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler. 🙂
Thank you very much!!!
Austenland would be great, thanks!
What a great idea! What about those of us that don’t have a blog? I need to figure out how to give away some of my books perhaps. However, that would require me going thru my bookshelf and I haven’t done that in the 7 months since we moved. yikes…I don’t even have them in a good order. even more yikes. I used to love to do it. I don’t know what happened. lol I do admire your organizational skills.
P.S. I have all those books so I’m not entering for one. lol I might even have two of something. ha
maybe I’ll just bring duplicates with me when we meet next week and you can give them to a good home. smiles…..have to think about that one.
My bookcase gets that way too, no matter how hard I try to keep it organized. 😉 My family teases me all the time asking me to organize their closets and shelves. It is just something I always loved to do!
Thank you for this awesome giveaway! I would love to win The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler or All Roads Lead to Austen by Amy Elizabeth Smith. Fingers crossed! >_< Both books sound really interesting! I already read and loved Austenland and can't wait to watch the movie!
Your bookcase looks immaculate Meredith, unlike my own. Really needs sorting but I have put it off before. If I promise to clean it up/make room does that mean I can (possibly) get a new addition? 😉
I would love to read Austenland by Shannon Hale. Or To Conquer Mr Darcy. Both are still missing in my collection of Jane-Books. Thanks for a chance to win!
Best wishes,
Jo’s Daughter
LOL! That sounds like a good deal!
Thanks for the giveaway! Please throw my name in the hat for Austenland or The Jane Austen Book Club. 🙂
