Hi readers, I hope your month of May was lovely!!! Did you get a lot of reading in? Or is it a busier time of year for you with the holidays and end-of-school year activities? I think I’m averaging about the same amount of reading this month, but I am usually able to fit in a little more reading time in the summer months! So I hope that will be true for June. I can’t wait! Did you happen to see all the Austenesque books published this last month? If not, have no fear!
Here’s a list of Austenesque Novel Finds for May 2018 for your perusing pleasure!

Thanks for putting together these wonderful lists, my TBR list grows and grows…DH appreciates the help too…Makes gift shopping so much easier..See a lot of MUST HAVES out this month….
My pleasure! I’m glad it is helpful! 🙂 My family has become such a fan of making amazon lists for gift ideas! It is so much easier now!
Thank you Meredith. Much appreciated as always
You are so welcome, my friend!
Another great list thanks Meredith. I read and enjoyed Confounding Caroline as it was posted. Same with Lost and Found which I loved and have been lucky enough to win from Joy.
I’ve read and loved London Holiday and I pre ordered The Events at Branxbourne which has arrived today.
I will check out the others although I’m still trying to reduce my TBR list not add to it (as if!) Oh well, who needs to do housework?
Thank you, my friend! I know what you mean about housework, it is so easy to move it to the bottom the priorities list!! Happy reading!!
I read London Holiday, Lost & Found, The Events at Branxbourne, Phi Alpha Pi and To Save and Protect. I have to say I was amused at all the “sensual” and/or “intimate” books in the lower list. I have now learned to avoid those as they are usually just a little too graphic for my tastes. Thank you for all your hard work putting this list together. I plan to read Engaging Mr. Darcy plus Lessers and Betters.
That’s wonderful, Sheila! Those all look like terrific reads! Great choices on the books you want to read!
I enjoy all of Leenie Browns stories and if found Confounding Caroline a fun read. Right now I am most looking forward to The Events at Branxbourne by Caitlin Williams. Thank you for compiling a list of all the books I shall ever have time to read. 🙂
Great choices, Brenda! 🙂 I know, it is impossible to keep up! #NotComplaining
I read Engaging Mr. Darcy as an ARC from the author. It was a fun read, bit of a an NA romance.

That looks like a fun one, Denise! I like the sound of it!
I read London Holiday and Engaging Mr. Darcy already, the former was a smile a minute and the other not so much, but it could be that it’s really YA and I’ve never been much for teen-aimed romances–too tame and immature to be NA. I’m catching up with Ardently Loved before heading on to The Events at Braxbourne. I also just beta read a story coming out later in the year by Leslie Diamond, a modern that everyone will enjoy.
Oooh! Sounds wonderful! It looks like you are enjoying some great reads! 🙂
Is it the end of the month already? Wow, where did the month go? I have several that I want to read from your list. It is so cool how you find all these titles. Well done. Thanks for keeping the list for us. It also provided a venue for us to look at something we might overlook otherwise. Blessings on your summer. Say hello to Mr. Bingley for me.
Thanks, Jeanne! I’m happy to make the list. Yes, the month flew by, didn’t it? Hope you are enjoying a lovely start to June!
Thank you again Meredith! There are at least 5-6 I want to read on your list and have already read, Leenie’s, Nicole’s and Christie’s which were fabulous! I am finishing up Don’s today ‘Lessers and Betters’ which I have already read at least 2x before when they were not combined under one cover. I do so love these two stories together!
My pleasure, Carole! 🙂 What a great month May was! So glad you enjoyed so many wonderful reads! 🙂
The Tense Future of Miss Jane Fairfax sounds really interesting. I’m going to put it on my TBR. I lost my Mam at the end of April. I’ve been finding it difficult to get through the days and my reading has suffered a bit. I’ve been trying to read to keep my mind occupied but my concentration is not great so I’m putting off reading anything that’s too engrossing because I won’t remember it in a week. I’ll save it though as I did like Jane Fairfax and always felt sorry for her.
This is for Teresa, who posted the comments above mine. I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. I lost mine in 2011 and I still feel it keenly. We were very close and I have no other close relations except for my children, who both, of course, have their own lives to lead. And thank you Meredith, for the nice long lists! I love all the JAFF I can get, and hopefully one day I’ll have enough money to be able to get these books or can find them in the library.
You are such a dear, Denise! I can only imagine how hard it is to lose someone you are so close to. That is lovely that you enjoyed such a lovely relationship together. 😉
Hope you have a great month!!
Oh, Teresa, I’m so very sorry! And it is quite understandable that you would be feeling as you are. I hope with time things will get a little better. Thank you for your lovely visit and please know you are among friends and we are here if you ever need some cheer! 🙂
Like Sheila, I’ll be avoiding anything from the lower list. I don’t mind MA content, but when that becomes the point of the story, then I reckon it becomes rather tedious. So, of the 26 pictured works, I’ve only read Lost and Found, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Of the rest, I’m hoping to eventually read Nicole’s, Sue Barr’s, and Caitlin’s. Several of the others are already sitting on my TBR list.
Thanks for compiling this list once again.
I’m glad you find the separating of the two helpful! 🙂 Great choices and I hope you enjoy a wonderful month of reading!
Yes, summer is a big reading time. Love getting outside to read.
I shake my head each month and know I’ll never exhaust all the ones I want to read. I’ve got Lessers and Betters and I hope to read Caitlinn’s book.
Yes, same for me!! Here’s hoping you get some good weather to enjoy with your reading!
With so many Austenesque books to choose from, it’s hard to know where to start! Leenie Brown’s books are always must reads for me, and I already have Paisley James’ book in my Kindle TBR folder, so at least I have a starting point. I’m looking forward to reading your review of To Save and Protect.
Definitely, Nancy! It is great all these authors are keeping us busy with new books to read! 🙂 I’m so looking forward to reading To Save and Protect!
Oh, my gosh!!! At first, I thought that your book finds/suggestions were only four– that first row! Wow, there are so many lovely books.
In May I didn’t get much reading in at all: the weather was AWFUL, and it was unbearable inside the house. I ended up getting sick for several days. Now that it’s milder, I have some major catching-up to do! Thank you for this great post. 🙂
I’m looking through these and wow I’m so glad to find so many that sound great. I’m really interested in London Holiday: A Pride and Prejudice Romantic Comedy by Nicole Clarkston!
