by Jennifer Becton, Jessica Grey, Cecilia Gray, Melissa Buell, Kimberly Truesdale and Rebecca M. Fleming. I am loving these short stories! It's so perfect for this time of year! I started this book a couple of weeks ago, but could only pick it up now and then. I'm on the last two stories. The first four were wonderful! Jennifer Becton's modern Persuasion, The Work of an Instant, was perfect! Including Captain Wentworth's letter. *sigh* I also LOVE Rebecca's modern Sense and Sensibility called A Tale of Three Christmases. It was beautiful and very touching! Ok, ok, I could go on, but I'll save it for the review. Let's just say I loved them all, and have the feeling the last two won't disappoint!
What did I recently finish reading? I finished reading The Heart of Christmas (Whiskey Creek Book 7)
by Brenda Novak. Fun read! You can read my review here.
What do I think I'll read next? I plan on reading The Muse by Jessica Evans. I'm looking forward to this modern Pride and Prejudice Variation! Where Elizabeth's a ballerina and she's dancing in Darcy's (who is a choreographer) newest show! What could go wrong there?!
Happy Thanksgiving!
What are you reading? I'd love to hear!!
Ooh! I'm so excited to read Holidays with Jane now - I can't wait! :) And The Muse looks wonderful!!! I used to do ballet when I was younger, I think that might be a must read for me!
ReplyDeletePS - I'm making pumpkin-chocolate chip muffins today, wish you could come and have some! :)
That would be lovely, Meredith! I wish I could join you! Those are my favorite muffins, and I would truly enjoy your company! :)
DeleteI know you're going to LOVE Holidays with Jane! It's so good! I stayed in bed a bit this morning, savoring in my mind the last story I finished! I love when that happens!
::squee::
ReplyDeleteThis makes me get warm fuzzies, and maybe blush a little too ;o)
I'll be reading "The Muse" soon too!
Hi Rebecca!! LOVED your story! The journal and notes...that was special! I really liked seeing everything through Maggie's eyes, too. I can't wait to read more from you!
DeleteYes! I saw you on the blog tour line up! Looking forward to your thoughts on The Muse! :)
The Muse sounds really interesting. I'll have to check that out. Next year I plan to spend more time reading short stories. I have been neglecting them and I don't want to anymore! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! Yes, The Muse does sound interesting! I'm eager to get started on it!
DeleteI don't read many short stories, but I probably should since my reading time is becoming more limited.
Thanks for stopping by!!
I am very curious about The Muse. Maybe it will be a good present for Christmas for myself!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Chiara! Great idea! I think I'll be picking up a few books for myself for Christmas also! ;) Lol!
DeleteI am very impressed that one of the stories in Holidays with Jane managed to update Captain Wentworth's letter in a sigh-worthy form! It's just so perfect and beautiful, that although I love to see it included in modern updates it usually feels a little flat.
ReplyDeleteI am between books at the minute, have recently finished The Falmouth Connection by Joana Starnes, which I loved, next planned read for me will probably be Mr Darcy's Christmas Calendar by Jane Odiwe. I really fancy reading The Muse, it looks so good! I'm looking forward to seeing your review of it.
Hi Ceri! Oh, I so agree! Jennifer did a fabulous job on that letter! I think it would be hard to modernize a letter like that, but Jennifer nailed it!
DeleteI've been seeing The Falmouth Connection around. It seems everyone is loving it. I may have to read it! :)

DeleteThanks everyone for the lovely comments about The Muse! I hope you'll enjoy reading it.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing to add Holidays with Jane to my growing reading list. Hopefully, I can get to it while it's still the holidays. ;)

Oh my gosh! Jessica! I just finished The Muse (seriously, about 10 minutes ago) and LOVED it! I was up until 2 this morning reading it! I made myself go to bed, and finished it this morning! So good!
DeleteOoh, yes, you should read Holidays with Jane! I really enjoyed that one too!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!
Yay! I'm so glad you loved it!! I can't wait for your review. :D
