There are new Austenesque releases for the month of April!
What a beautiful array of new Austenesque!
I haven’t read any of these new releases (not counting the audiobook releases)
I am so thrilled to have
of these gorgeous books – Match Made at Matlock: A sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice by Jan Ashton, Julie Cooper, Amy D’Orazio, and Jessie Lewis and An Affectionate Heart: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Heather Moll in my soon TBR pile!
And I’m intrigued by some others, such as Sense and Second-Degree Murder (Jane Austen Murder Mysteries, 2) by Tirzah Price and Maria Bertram’s Daughter: A Mansfield Park Sequel by Lucy Knight – how will I find the time to read them all!?
Thank you for your work gathering and sharing this list. I have only read 3 of the books listed. I do have several on my TBR pile.
I have read 5 from this list, still so many more to add to my long list of wanted!
I have read The Beginning of Prudence
Thank you for collecting this information. While I’ve read several, I always appreciate this convenient opportunity as a double check of what’s become available.
I haven’t read any those, but I do have two on the TBR pile. The alien one sounds like a hoot.
This one caught my eye: Sense and Second-Degree Murder
I just finished Sense and Second Degree. One sister really shines in this one.
Kirk, I rely on your little recommendations.
I have only read 3 of the books listed but 2 went straight to my favourite list. An Affectionate Heart and The Marriage Bargain were absolutely fabulous reads.
I see quite a few moderns on your list that I have missed out on and I will check those out.
I’ve read a couple of these, have another to read and several more on my list to buy! What I really need is extra time! Even though I’m retired I still struggle, especially because I do have to reread favourites along the way! Your lists just add to my struggle Meredith but I’m very grateful anyway!
Thank you as always, Meredith. You must know from the many many comments over the years how much we all appreciate the work you put into these lists for us!!! I never want you to think I/we take that for granted. But oh dear, if these should ever go away???!!!
I have listened to one of the new books from the list above; the collaboration from Quills & Quatros, A Match Made at Matlock. Oh my gosh. I wanted to start over right away and listen again. Really, a quadruple home run. Actually, quintuple home run counting the narrator Stevie Zimmerman! And that Viscount Saye, such a naughty, delightful, frustrating, endearing hero.
There are five must/will read titles from this month’s list, and golly, at least that much more ‘want to reads.’ What a great month.
Did I count three (3)! stories based on Cinderella??
So much to read and so little time. Thank you for all your lists! They keep me informed of what is out there.
I’m looking forwartd yo reading Rosings Park Spring Ball & A Match Made at Matlock. But there are so many good ones that I will likely add a ton more stories
Thanks for the list as always Meredith

I have read and LOVED A Match Made at Matlock and have started An Affectionate Heart today
