We are generally pretty lucky here, the weather is very much toned down compared to other countries. The reason we are all obsessed in Britain is that it's so changeable, not that it's very bad. I hope you have a good reading month, and that you stay safely tucked up away from the weather.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-42000867070266403372018-03-09T22:01:29.001+00:002018-03-09T22:01:29.001+00:00Thanks Mary!

We here in the Emerald Isle have had 'The Beast from the East' and Storm Emma to contend with which brought snow and winds. <br />We can't deel with low temperatures so the country virtually ground to a halt for the past few days!! <br /><br />Hope your building plans come to fruition and that they don't cause too much stress. <br />It will be so worthwhile to have more family space so keypad that in much when the builder fails to turn up!!!! <br /><br />You're in for a treat with Anigail's book! <br />I read it and loved it. <br /><br />Gave a great month! 🔨🏡📕Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643769895994661007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-59672635168330855002018-03-03T20:00:00.882+00:002018-03-03T20:00:00.882+00:00I am dreading the upheaval, but as we are not knoc...I am dreading the upheaval, but as we are not knocking down much internally I am hoping it won't be as bad.<br /><br />I love your idea for tackling your buried books, Carole. I could go back further than just a year though, you are very restrained! You have given me an idea though, perhaps I'll look back at unread books from previous Aprils when I am choosing my reading for next month!Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-5837726628215993502018-03-03T19:50:25.903+00:002018-03-03T19:50:25.903+00:00Hi Jeanne.

We did a lot of smaller projects before the children were born and that was upheaval enough!<br /><br />I know it's a cliche, but yes, I love talking about the weather, LOL. And I like to look out of the window to see what the weather is doing. I love that you never know what season it will be here :)<br /><br />Goodness, your alphabetical challenge sounds hard. I know of some JAFF with author surnames beginning with Z but not titles. How badly would it be cheating to have an eX... title, there are quite a few of those. If I ever write a book I will have a title beginning with X to clean up on alphabet challenges :) Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-45904887136895275492018-03-03T19:27:21.406+00:002018-03-03T19:27:21.406+00:00You too Sophia!

I read Pride, Prejudice and the Perfect Match a few years ago and I really enjoyed it, but I liked the sequel to it even more - Pride, Prejudice and the Perfect Bet is the Jane/Bingley story and I would never have thought that I'd prefer one of those to an Elizabeth/Darcy story but I did. If you have chance I'd definitely try and read that one :)Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-72133750833009868192018-03-03T15:00:48.808+00:002018-03-03T15:00:48.808+00:00How exciting...a reno!

Took down walls, ripped up carpeting, tiles and linoleum etc. What a mess but the design and buying was fun! However, we did not have little ones underfoot, just my mother-in-law. So good luck and have fun with it! <br /><br />You have a great line-up this month. I loved Ginger's saga and I am looking forward to Mark and Monica's books! <br /><br />We had the bitter cold in December and January with snow. February hasn't been too bad. March came in with only a couple of inches of snow which should melt this weekend. It stayed just south of us. <br /><br />In trying to tackle my TBR list, I have decided for every new book I read, I will go back and read one that is buried. Since it is March 2018, I will find one I bought in March of 2017...we'll see how well that works!Carole in Canadanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-36114809773550517302018-03-03T14:16:39.397+00:002018-03-03T14:16:39.397+00:00Ceri... good luck with the remodel.

It's fantastic once they're finished, but a pain in the you-know-where whilst you're having to live with them, as I know from experience. <br /><br />Don't we Brits just love to talk a out the weather? We've had more than a light covering in Yorkshire but again it's the powdery sort, so when the wind got up but it was still snowing, it's blown into drifts. Saw some lovely ones on the moors on my way to work yesterday but couldn't stop to take photos.<br /><br />Reading-wise, I'm going to be reading Only Mr. Darcy Will Do by Kara Louise for my contribution to the Dusty Book Shelf Scavenger Hunt. You're in for a treat with Alone with Mr. Darcy. Look out for a cameo from Abigail's late and much missed cat Snowdrop. I'm also on a double alphabetical mission to try and read an Austenesque title that begins with each individual letter of the alphabet (excluding any leading The, A or An), and also by author's first name as part of my Reading Challenge this year. Got a title beginning with Q but X and Z might be a problem! Any suggestions? Some of our friends on Goodreads have suggested some fan fiction writers names for Q, X and Z, so hopefully not a problem with that aspect!<br /><br />Ginger Monette's duo are another treat and I'm looking forward to catching up with Mark Brownlow's blog tour. I've just discovered that he's the person behind the Austenesque "email inboxes" that pop up on social media from time to time. They're absolutley hilarious! Monica Fairview's new book looks intriguing - I've been following the preview chapters on Austen Variations and really want to discover the mystery behind Darcy's past. <br /><br />Have a great month!Anjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580018261533290062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-82061350611471247662018-03-03T06:37:59.140+00:002018-03-03T06:37:59.140+00:00Yes, I imagine an extensive building project like ...Yes, I imagine an extensive building project like that would be exciting and terrifying at the same time. Hopefully, it will all go along smoothly and you'll be enjoying all your new space and kitchen. <br /><br />If the old saying is true, we're in for a lamb day at the end, too. Glad you were able to enjoy the snow with the kiddoes. :)<br /><br />Oh fun! I am looking forward to reading Mark Brownlow's book. I love that Mr. Bennet is the focus.<br />Haha! Good pick for the Dusty Shelves with the snowy weather tie-in. I hope to start my book Remembrance of the Past by Maria Grace next week.<br /><br />Have a lovely March, Ceri!Sophia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909417504496472472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-85984748376569871292018-03-03T02:37:04.236+00:002018-03-03T02:37:04.236+00:00Love Ginger Monette's stories and Abigail Reyn...Love Ginger Monette's stories and Abigail Reynolds, too.

Thanks for sharing. Jen Oh.... Aside from reading on the forums, I just read Pride, Prejudice and the Perfect Match by Marilyn Brant which I won in a giveaway. Very funny and a nice balance to the angst that is hanging out at the forums right now. Jen Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317868423170541285noreply@blogger.com
