When I originally read your post I didn't see the links to the reviews, I just noticed it when I copied over those titles so I'll use google translate on it. I think your English is great, far better than my Spanish :)Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-30388256627240285302015-01-07T23:10:29.200+00:002015-01-07T23:10:29.200+00:00Thank you Joana, I thoroughly enjoyed them both!

What a wonderful wonderful surprise! <br />So very sorry I didn't see this sooner, I was far far away from my PC on the 31st of Dec (and funnily enough much closer to you - Blaenau Ffestiniog ;) )<br />I'm absolutely thrilled to be included twice in your list of favourites, what a huge honour and what joy!

I'd like to read Katherine Reay too, I see you have both her books on your list, but I'm waiting for price drops, particularly as ebook prices have just jumped up here in the UK :'-( Hope you have plenty of good reading in 2015!Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-89591082229288211522015-01-06T00:06:16.369+00:002015-01-06T00:06:16.369+00:00Pre-ereader I bought quite a few of L M Montgomery...Pre-ereader I bought quite a few of L M Montgomery's books so I have quite a collection but I never got to this one.

I have some more books by her on my kindle to look forward to, too. I am always glad when somebody finds L M Montgomery because I've read a lot of her books and I just love them. There are still some of hers I haven't read.

As you know, I love her stories and Short-Straw Bride is one of my absolute favourite novels! :) I discovered last year (it feels strange to say last year :P) L.M. Montgomery and I look forward to reading her other books :) As for the Austenesque ones, I haven't read them yet, but I hope to read Joana Starnes' books sometimes soon!

I so enjoyed your book, the sheer ingenuity of it was something I really enjoyed because it was no mean feat to manage to create some of the scenes we know from Pride and Prejudice with the genders reversed and I was shocked to realise that I felt differently about some scenes with the gender reversed! I actually gave myself a migraine reading it because I didn't want to put it down and I read for too long!<br /><br />I just love my kindle and it's so easy to find wonderful reads. If you've bought any of the books in my favourite reads this year then I have high hopes that you'll enjoy them, but if you wanted to buy any more I have some links at the top of the blog page to lists of Austenesque books that I've reviewed, so there are more suggestions there. Happy New Year to you, and I hope you have a great 2015!Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-91053372315535928522015-01-02T12:23:37.391+00:002015-01-02T12:23:37.391+00:00H, Ceri.

Imagine my surprise and delight to discover Love at First Slight on your list of favourite Austenesque reads of 2014. You may be interested to know three of the other titles had already been downloaded to my e-reader over the past week.<br />Thank you! Inclusion of LaFS on your top five list for last year is an honour and a great way to start 2015.<br />Happy New Year to you and your readers!J.

I so enjoyed PP&tPB, Jane was such a fantastic character, I loved her from the first book, and it was so satisfying to see her learn that she could be nice without being a doormat!
