I'm way behind on my reading because DH is home, we've had a lot of medical appointments, we've been driving for friends who can't (he's had hip surgery and she doesn't drive) and we've had out of town visitors, BUT I found out that my friend from out of town, whom I haven't seen in more than ten years, is another Jane Austen freak!
She had no idea that there were other authors who wrote in Austen's style, used Austen's characters and continued her stories. So I made up quite an extensive list for her, combining all the contributions from last year's reading challenge, of Jane Austen fanfic. Needless to say, your contributions made up most of the list! She was ecstatic and planned to hit the bookstore as soon as she returned home (She has a Nook rather than a Kindle, so I'm not sure how many are available for download).
So you can take part credit (or blame?) for another Jane Austen junkie!

That is awesome!
#17 Belles on Their Toes-the sequel to Cheaper By The Dozen. Not as good as the first one but their mother was such an impressive and admirable parent.
