Thanks for stopping by my profile page. I got The Private Diary of Mr. Darcy from the Early Reviewer's program here on LT. I think it must be a re-issue of the book since it looks like it's been around for a little while. I read your review and really enjoyed it. Your reviews are always very well done! I really like the book, much more than a lot of the Jane Austen fanfiction I've read. Darcy is much more human and less straight-laced that I thought! ;)

You indicate on your profile that you are a bookseller. I was also a bookseller, first at Barnes & Noble at Crossroads, and then at Alderwood when it first opened up. Unfortunately I had to move on to a better paying but not more enjoyable job. I still miss the books (although I visit them regularly!).

I agree with you on Diana Birchall; her Mrs. Elton is my favorite Austen spin-off. And I'm waiting for Diana Gabaldon to toss off another massive Outlander novel, which I'll read the way my daughters read Harry Potter- up all night to finish by dawn.
The other books I'd grab in case of a fire are G. B. Stern and Sheila Kaye-Smith's "Talking of Jane Austen" (1943) and "More Talk of Jane Austen" (1950), which came together from a used book shop in York twenty-some years ago. They are collections of fun, chatty appreciations of Austen. Those women would have been bloggers if they lived now.
