We will take the top voted novel for our choice.

I will probably end our poll around the 10th.

Most libraries or library systems have most, if not all, or even multiple copies of these books.

I am really enjoying the Jane Austen mysteries! Thanks for the recommendation!

Okay, Ladies!!


We will start Pride and Prejudice on June 15th!

Who is reading it for the first time?

Is anyone planning to re-read it with us?

I am not going to re-read it now, as I just re-read it in Feb of this year.

But, I am in the middle of the second jane austen mystery.......and the third is here, waiting, too.

God bless,

I have recently finished reading Pride & Prejudice. It was my second time reading it, so I am ready for discussion. However, I am leaving on vacation tomorrow until June 22. I'd be delighted to come home to lots of talk about P&P.

Chari, do we discuss right away or are we waiting until others are finished also? Because here's partly what I condense P&P to: moderation in all things. Too much prejudice kept Elizabeth from seeing the good in Darcy. Too much shyness kept Jane from letting Bingley know she was interested. Too much honesty kept Darcy from proposing properly. Too much reserve kept Elizabeth & Jane from telling others about Wickham earlier.

I might be prevailed upon to continue, but alas, duty calls to finish packing our trunks (merely thinking of Jane Austen puts me in this mood ).
