There are 5️⃣1️⃣ new Austenesque releases for the month of December!
Time to spend your holiday gift cards!!
🎄 I’ve read an early version of Lessons in Honour: A Pride and Prejudice Christmas Story by Pamela Aidan.
🎄 I am excited to have An Excellent Walker: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Lyndsay Constable on my tbr list.
🎄 And honestly, I’m overwhelmed with all the other books I want to read!
So many excellent books and I love all of the holiday offerings. Thanks for your hard work and for sharing with us as always.
So many new ones this month! I have read a few and see a couple more to add to the TBR pile.
Although not many new audiobooks this month.
The illegitimate heir is the same story and names as the Ayr Bray book by the same title
If you read their bios, they’re identical. Perhaps the author uses both names.
Happy New Year!
I have read 7 of the stories listed. Thanks for all your hard work compiling these lists for us, Meredith. Happy New Year to all!
Happy New Year! . Thank you Meredith for all of your hard work!
How many books in December! And the new book of dragons by Maria Grace!
Thanks for compiling this useful list and Happy 2023 for everyone!
Thank you so much – I just loaded my Kindle. Great way to see in the New Year. To you and your’s “May this be your best year yet!”
I’ve only read one from the above list but it was amazing, L.L. Diamond’s new book. Loved it. There are at least ten up there I must read. I hope some of the worthy new authors will show up in your reviews or author visits so I can get some guidance in choosing to read them. I’ll never get to them all. They deserve a chance if they worked so hard to bring a good story to publication.
But as always Meredith, not enough can be said for all the work you do for us and the authors, too. I thank you for it.
Well, Happy New Year all!
First I wish you a happy new year
Still going backwards checking my mailbox, and once more I added more books to my bottomless list.
I read Christmas Celebrations last year. Of the rest I’ve definitely read 3 (plus one when it was posting) I’m not sure of the rereleases? I have some others on my list and will check out the rest. Thanks once again Meredith, Happy New Year
I’m reading as fast as I can but I cannot keep up! Thanks for the list.
