If you’ve been a reader of this blog for some time than you know that I used to have periodic Austenesque ARC Giveaways. This was due to the fact I oftentimes replace my ARC’s with real copies of books or because I sometimes end up with two copies of the same book. 😉 And by nature, I am a bit of a minimalist, so if there is something in my home that I don’t need to have there, I’m quick to remove it or give it away. When it comes to books, I’m always happy to share any surplus I have with the wonderful readers of this blog!
The last Austenesque ARC GiveawayI had was in February of 2015 (pre-move) just before my books got packed in storage bins for 10 months! Now that I have bookshelves again and can organize my books properly, I see it is well past time for me to do another Austenesque ARC Giveaway!
All books are in gently used/like new condition. Three books are ARCs or early editions (marked with an asterisk) that I’ve now replaced with other copies and one book (Mr. Knightley’s Diary) is one I found at our library book sale and couldn’t resist sharing here. All pages of these books are in tact and not written on.
And today’s Austenesque ARC Giveaway is extra special because I have 3 books coming from Stephanie Littlejohn who, like we were 15 months ago, is getting ready to move into a smaller space. She has 3 books she would like me help find new homes for…
Darcy and Fitzwilliam by Karen Wasylowski*
Emma and Elizabeth by Ann Mychal*
In the Past Imperfect by Isabelle Solal
Mr. Knightley’s Diary by Amanda Grange
Expectations of Happiness by Rebecca Ann Collins*
Darcy’s Decision by Maria Grace
The Future Mrs. Darcy by Maria Grace
Regency Prints Refined by Sharon Lathan

GIVEAWAY TIME!!!!!
If you are interested in winning one of these lovely books for yourself, just leave a comment indicating which book(s) you’d prefer to win! I will randomly select a winner for each book. A special thanks to Stephanie for her generosity and for making this giveaway even more fun! 🙂
(You can enter this giveaway for more than one book, just make sure you leave only ONE comment.)
- This giveaway is open to residents worldwide!
- This giveaway will end May 18th.
Wow thank you Meredith and thank you for allowing us Brits to be able to have a chance in winning one of these lovely books. I have already read Darcy and Fitzwilliam by Karen Wasylowski but would love a chance to win any of the other books. Thank you so much. What a lovely, kind, gesture.
I’m happy to open it internationally! I’m so happy to connect with readers all over the world! I’m very thankful you visit my blog and join in our discussions!
Love this giveaway. Thanks for sharing the love. I haven’t read Mr. Knightley’s Diary by Amanda Grange yet so I will try for that one. 🙂 Thank you.
My pleasure! Best of luck! 🙂
What a nice thing to do! I would love to have the book by Rebecca Collins!
Thanks for this delightful feature and giveaway. In The Past Imperfect interests me greatly. I would love this treasure.
Thanks for doing this! I’m interested in “Expectations of Happiness” by Rebecca Ann Collins. Cheers!
Meredith, aren’t you awesome for sharing like this! I wish there was a place that I could pass on books like this, but I don’t have a blog. Oh well.
I would love to win “In the Past Imperfect”. “Persuasion” is my favorite of JA’s books, and I love to read all variations, interpretations and versions of it.
I think this might be the 8th time I’ve hosted this kind of giveaway. I was real surprise with how big the response was the first time, I’m glad to know there are readers out there who would like to give a slightly used/once read book a new home!
How very generous of the two of you. I’m a minimalist myself, but over the past year I have been trying to increase my number of JAFF paperbacks. I’d love to have a copy of Emma and Elizabeth. I’ve been interested in Ms. Mychal since I read your review of Brinshore. Thanks for the giveaway!
Paperbacks are lovely and I only choose to diminish my supply when I have 2 of the same one, because I really don’t see a situation where I will need both at the same time. 😉
Please enter me into the giveaway for “Expectations of Happiness”. I’ve had that one on my wish list for a long time.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
that’s wonderful – I would pick – Darcy and Fitzwilliam by Karen Wasylowski
I would love Sharon Lathan’s book, Regency Prints Refined.
What a great way to re-gift a book!!! I seriously would love any of these! However, the ones I haven’t read are:
Darcy and Fitzwilliam by Karen Wasylowski
Emma and Elizabeth by Ann Mychal
In the Past Imperfect by Isabelle Solal
Mr. Knightley’s Diary by Amanda Grange
Expectations of Happiness by Rebecca Ann Collins
and
Regency Prints Refined.
Thank you both for this!!
Thank you both for your generosity! It is always nice to know you are giving books away to people who will treasure them. I would love the chance to win Mr. Knightley’s Diary by Amanda Grange as I own Mr. Darcy’s Diary and enjoyed it or Regency Prints Refined by Sharon Lathan. Thank you!
I know they can be easily donated to our library or other places in town, but I find this way much more fun! 🙂 I really appreciate all the visits and conversations readers like you bring to this blog!
I’m glad I could contribute! Please leave me out of the drawing (for obvious reasons). =D I’ve replaced quite a few of mine with ebooks because they take up much less space in a tiny house! Good luck all!!
Thanks again, Stephanie! It was a lot of fun to share this with you!
Really would like Amanda Grange’s book but I would be happy with any of them!
How kind you are Meredith. I am the opposite to minimalist I’m afraid as I’m a hoarder. (Especially books!) So I would love to win Darcy & Fitzwilliam by Karen Waslowski please. Thanks again 🙂
Oh I completely understand! These books are only leaving my shelves because they are duplicate copies! 🙂
What a wonderful find for a Wednesday morning. Please enter me for Sharon’s book and Ms. Solal’s. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your generosity Meredith and Stephanie. I would love to be entered to win any except Maria Grace’s because I already have those. You are always so generous.
You always have the best giveaways..I would love to have Emma and Elizabeth or The Future Mrs. Darcy.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Thank you very much for your generosity Meredith (and Stephanie), not only for the books but for the international shipping as well as I know it’s really expensive. I want them all actually hehe, no really, I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t read any of these beauties. Please enter me for the draw for Darcy and Fitzwilliam by Karen Wasylowski, Emma and Elizabeth by Ann Mychal, Mr. Knightley’s Diary by Amanda Grange and Expectations of Happiness by Rebecca Ann Collins.
Happy to do it, Kristia! I know it is sometimes difficult or pricey to get hard copies of these books in other countries.
What a great assortment of books, by wonderful authors. Thank you so much for the gift you are offering. I would love either of Maria Grace’s books. Thank you!
I would love a chance for any of them but especially the regency print. I have it as an ebook but it is just not the same as the real thing.
I’m greedy and want them all!!

Expectations of Happiness, please. 🙂
Oh, what wonderful giveaways! I would love to be entered for a chance to win In the Past Imperfect. This has been on my wish list for a while. Thank you so much, Meredith & Stephanie!
In The Past Imperfect would be my favourite choice. However, to win any of the others would be great except Emma and Elizabeth. I already own that. Thanks so much for the giveaway Meredith. Always nice to get something for free!!!
“In the Past Imperfect” – oh, yes please. Thank you so much, Meredith – I should be downsizing, but this is to good to resist.
Thank you for being so generous! It would be a great pleasure to have a copy of Amanda Grace’s, “Mr. Knighley’s Diary!” I own most of the other novels in book form. It would be great to have it in my collection of over 300.
Wow! All of these sound delightful. I’ve always thought about what happens to the Dashwood sisters and would love to read Expectations of Happiness. Persuasion will forever be my favorite love story and I’m excited to read In the Past Imperfect as well!
Thank you Meredith! I’d love to win Mr Knightley’s Diary or In The Past Imperfect.
Thank you so much for your generosity Meredith! I would love to win In the Past Imperfect by Isabelle Solal 🙂
I have already read Emma and Elizabeth but would not mind a chance to win any of the others. If we have to select one then please enter me for Expectations of Happiness by Rebecca Ann Collins. Thank you for this chance to win.
A minimalist… I truly wish I were. Haha! Though, I do make an effort to give it away if I don’t use it or have more than one. Very kind of you and Stephanie to do a giveaway. I think the shorter list is which ones I’ve already got. So, any except Mr. Knightley’s Diary and Expectations of Happiness. Thanks for the opportunity.
I love when you giveaway books! I would be happy to win any of the books offered!! Thanks for the generosity!

Thanks ever so much, Meredith, for the generous giveaway! I have some of those books in paperback, nearly all of them in Kindle but I can’t resist the temptation of throwing my name into the hat for a chance to own a paperback copy of
Emma and Elizabeth by Ann Mychal (I LOVED this book!!!)
Mr Knightley’s Diary by Amanda Grange (which I haven’t read yet, shame on me!!)
Regency prints refined by Sharon Lathan (it looks ever so pretty!!)
LOVED what you said about being a bit of a minimalist by nature. Dear oh dear, that’s one huge challenge, with all the JAFF that gets published, more and more each day. Luckily it looks like you might have room for a library extension. Or underground storage or something 😀
Thanks again and have a very happy summer xx
So glad you are tempted to enter the giveaway, Joana! And I definitely agree that it is great to have your favorite books in paperback!
Yes, there is no necessity for me to downsize my collection any time soon! I’m just happy to share the surplus!
