Our third week was as exciting as the previous 2. The fun and games were endless. 7 more of our authors were introduced to you, sharing their love of Jane Austen and how that translated into the novels they write. Are your heads spinning with not knowing which book to read next?

We now have 123 followers and our traffic hit counter is over 18,250! WOW! Best of all, we have heard from so many of you, our readers. Many of you are returnees who now know this is THE place to come every day. Others are new visitors, discovering us somehow and stepping forward to say hello. And for those shy folks who read, enjoy, and quietly lurk in the background – Welcome!! We are happy you are here too! But no need to be silent. We are a friendly bunch and we LOVE to chat with our fans. Plus – and this is the BEST part – you don’t want to miss out on the fantastic giveaways!
