Want to take part in Austenesque Jolabokaflod?
So many great books on that list and not enough time! I’ve had the absolute pleasure of reading and loving 5 of them so far. Enjoy your soon TBR pile!
Oh, that’s excellent, Katie! I’m gad to hear you loved them! Thank you!
I initially thought that for the first time, I have not read any of the new releases (yet). Then I remembered that I had written one of them. I have definitely read Veni Vidi Vicious, at least twenty times, lol.
There are many I want to read though, both by established and new authors.
Thank you for making the list, it is such a treat when I discover a new email from you.
Haha! I loved reading this, Elin! That definitely counts.
I feel the same about wanting to read so many of these books.
Congrats on your new release!! I’m super excited for you!
Read the Pink Daffodil
Excellent! That one sounds intriguing!
I’m looking esspecially looking forward to the Christmas stories 🙂
Same here! It will make the Christmas season extra special!
So many to get excited about from this month! Thanks for the list, Meredith!
I agree! Hope you get the chance to read many!
I have read 9 of these stories and hope to read the “Tis the Season” collection as it has so many great authors. So far I have only completed one of those stories but am half way through a second one. Thanks for all the work you put into compiling these lists, Meredith. Happy Halloween to all who celebrate.
Wowee! That’s impressive, Sheila! Way to go!
So many wonderful books.
I’m reading Jane Austen’s Lost Letters.

Wonderful! I hope to hear your opinion about it!
I have read a few. Looking forward most to getting through the Q&Q season Specials.
Yes! Bring on the Christmas spirit!!
Oh nononono!! It cannot be that time again. Not. Sigh… I am most seriously behind in reading new books that have come out. There are multiple hands full of books on the list above I want to read. So many awesome authors have come out with new titles, that I want to read. Gah! And the trend seems to be plenty of new authors each month.
Yes, I like to read seasonal stories. I’m a re-reader, so I love to visit my old favorites again each year, which now is impossible because I’ve collected so many. Can’t get to them all. Speaking of which, I’m so looking forward to the collection that has come out by the Q&Q group of authors. So many Austenesque Christmas stories in one year. Hurray!
Happy November, Meredith. As always, thank you for bringing us these lists each month.
I know! It always gets me too, Michelle!
I think it was you who told me of a tradition of rereading Haunting Mr. Darcy each year, right? If yes, were you able to do that for this year yet? I know what you mean about having so many books you want to reread each year! It is a good problem to have though!
Thank you so much for checking out this list!
My goodness you have a good memory. Yep, that was me regarding Haunting Mr. Darcy. I love that book so much. I don’t always wait for October to read it. Sometimes I just have to have a fix sometime in the winter….or…
Speaking of seasonal stories, you asked my one time to let you know which ones I liked rereading the most or what kinds of stories I liked. I haven’t forgotten, and I’ll have to email that to you. 😉 Don’t hold your breath though. I’m terrible.
I am proud to be among those who have a new story out and being able to share an excerpt on your lovely blog. Looking forward to reading many of the others on this list.
Woot woot! So happy to see a new release of yours, Brenda! It is all the more impressive knowing the year you had. Congrats, my friend!
What a wonderful list! Thanks for all of your hard work. Such a service for the JAFF folks.
My pleasure, Jennifer! I’m so happy the list is useful!
