Holidays with Jane: Christmas Cheer: Modern Austen Short Stories | Melissa Buell, Jennifer Becton, Rebecca M Fleming
15 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
Six talented authors make your Christmas lights twinkle with these modern-day adaptations of Jane Austen's novels. Curl up with some peppermint tea and enjoy something special in your stocking this holiday season. ***** The Work of an Instant by Jennifer Becton When Frederick Wentworth's ship docks at the Navy base in Charleston just in time for Christmas, Anne Elliot feels torn between desire to see her former fiance and fear of rejection. Will taking a risk end in humiliation or give Anne a second chance with her first love? To find out, all she has to do is turn around and face him. Mischief and Mistletoe by Melissa Buell Thrifty designer and secret Gothic novel enthusiast Cate Morland gets the opportunity of a lifetime to plan the costumes for the upcoming Dickens' Christmas Festival. There she meets Henry Tilney who shows an interest in more than Cate's costume designs. Mistaken by Henry's father as a rich heiress, Cate is invited to stay with the Tilney family at their estate. Will Henry feel the same for Cate once he discovers she is a seamstress paying her own way through design school? A Tale of Three Christmases by Rebecca M. Fleming When their father dies, leaving their brother everything, life changes radically for the Dashwood girls. Librarian Ellie and musician Marianne have their work of course, but what about teenage Maggie? Maggie only has her writing-a surprising saving grace that helps her chronicle the ups and downs of life, love and family in this tale of three Christmases. With Love, from Emma by Cecilia Gray A visit to Emma Gold's flower shop can save a relationship but a date at Lance Knightley's bar can take that relationship to the next level, so who should be considered Heartfield, Oregon's resident romance expert? Emma and Lance square off at their best friends' wedding to settle the score. Sparks fly as bets are made and favors are won in this contemporary Christmas retelling, recounted With Love, from Emma. It's a Wonderful Latte by Jessica Grey Evie St. Laurent can always count on three things: being single during Christmas in Los Angeles, her job as manager at Mansfield Perk, and Frank Nakatomi, her best friend and coworker, cheering her up when she's down. But when the glamorous Piper siblings come to town and sweep everyone off their feet, what Evie thought was sure in her life starts slipping away. It will take some Christmas magic and the help of a very special angel named Jane to help Evie see that the love she's been waiting for has been there all the time. Pride & Presents by Kimberly Truesdale Liz Bennet wants to make this Christmas the best that Longbourn Community Center has ever had. When basketball superstar Charles Bingley shows up to volunteer, it looks like that just might happen-even in spite of his unhelpful friend Will Darcy. But when everything starts to go wrong and Longbourn itself is in danger, Liz must set aside her pride and ask for help. Then she'll discover that the best presents are the ones you never expect."

Edit: I missed tagging one yesterday, so I've added her and taken off the ones who told me they have received.

Tomorrow is the day!! #AVeryAustenHolidaySwap

I‘m very happy to report that all participants have now sent their packages! But...

If I‘ve tagged you, I don‘t have you marked as having yet received your swap package. I may have missed a post or a tag, but please reply and let me know... are you still waiting for your package?

❤️

alisiakae Still waiting! I think @quietjenn and I mailed ours on the same day, and my tracking number shows hers was just delivered this morning (hopefully!), so maybe mine will appear today too! 3y
quietjenn That's right! I'd actually just signed on to Litsy to post it when I saw this tag! I am really hoping that yours shows up too, @4thhouseontheleft. USPS hasn't update the info since last night 😒 3y
alisiakae @quietjenn I don't mind if it's a day or two late, so please don't stress about it! There are a lot of shipping delays this time of year. 3y

Littlewolf1 Still waiting, but she let me know it was sent 3y
sprainedbrain @4thhouseontheleft @quietjenn thanks for the update, ladies! USPS is certainly struggling... 😳 3y
MeganAnn I checked tracking and it looks like @kspenmoll ‘s package was just delivered today. I haven‘t received mine yet, but I know she sent it awhile ago so hopefully any day now! 3y
jenniferw88 Still waiting for mine, but please don't worry about it! I don't mind it being late. 3y
Lollymya Got it!!!! 3y
tdrosebud @Littlewolf1 It should have arrived yesterday. I checked tracking and it said in transit, but not where. I'll keep an eye on it. 3y
tdrosebud I have not received mine, but I believe I was told it was sent. 3y
SheReadsAndWrites I haven't received mine but was told it was sent! 🎄 3y
Chrissyreadit Thankyou @jenniferw88 @MeganAnn @Littlewolf1 @4thhouseontheleft @tdrosebud @SheReadsAndWrites this is very Austen like I guess, we never know when a carriage breaks down or a road is washed out and shipping delayed ....I suspect there are not enough horses to deliver the mail 🥸 3y
Avanders Hi still waiting 🙋🏽‍♀️ 3y
tdrosebud @Chrissyreadit It is very annoying. I sent it priority, dropped it off on the 3rd. I did a little further digging into the tracking history and apparently it is still here, bouncing around. What is extra annoying is that I also sent my lmpbc book that day and it was delivered on time. It was going further than this package. 🤔🤦‍♀️ 3y
Crinoline_Laphroaig Still Waiting. @Mitch sent in plenty of time. I'm sure it will make it here eventually. Lately it's been like the mail man is only delivering mail every 3rd day. Lady Catherine would be most displeased. 3y
sprainedbrain @Crinoline_Laphroaig yes, Mitch was one of the first to send. I am so disappointed with the postal service! 3y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @sprainedbrain my Book of the Month was supposed to be here Monday. It left Tulsa this afternoon. Supposedly it with be here tomorrow 3y
sprainedbrain @Crinoline_Laphroaig so annoying! My BOTM isn‘t here yet either, and it just says it‘s sitting in Illinois for the 3rd day. I‘m going to continue to blame Trump and no one is going to change my mind. 🤣🤣🤣 3y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @sprainedbrain Definitely Trump. I live in prime Trump country. They're still pouting. 😉 3y
kspenmoll Sorry I did receive mine! 3y
sprainedbrain @kspenmoll awesome! Marking you down. 😉 3y
JenlovesJT47 Hadn‘t received as of yesterday, my mail goes to my parents‘ house so I‘ll check tomorrow! 🤗 3y
Mitch @Crinoline_Laphroaig @chrissyreadit im so disappointed everyone that the parcel isn't there yet - i HATE being late and im so sorry you've not got it today Annie. Ive checked the post office (it was posted on 18th November!) and they say it has left the UK - but can't quite find where it is on its US journey..... Im hoping it will appear in a few days time...Im going to save opening mine - so we can open them together when it arrives xxx 3y
sprainedbrain @Mitch you have NOTHING to apologize for! I don‘t think you could have possibly sent it any sooner... this is totally USPS. 3y
Chrissyreadit @Mitch I‘m completely blaming everything (appropriately) on a president and senate who want to see the usps fail so they can privatize mail further impacting the working class and poor. Fuc&ing as$hole authoritarian plutocracy driven $hitheads. 3y
sprainedbrain @Mitch Yes, what @Chrissyreadit said! 😂 3y
alisiakae @Chrissyreadit yeah, so many more people are doing their shopping online, that the impact has wreaked havoc on an already weakened post office system. 😔 I feel bad for small businesses, I know a few people who run online or Etsy shops, and they are getting slammed with bad reviews due to the shipping problems. 3y
Chrissyreadit @4thhouseontheleft yes- I‘m furious because like everything else the impact is insidious and Teflon don gets away with it. 3y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Mitch I just replied to your email. Its ABSOLUTELY not your fault. My postal service been slow since before the Election. It's exactly what @Chrissyreadit @sprainedbrain @4thhouseontheleft said. It's been a 4 year Cluster🤬. 3y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Mitch @Chrissyreadit @sprainedbrain I'm sure it will be here soon. It will brighten my day whenever that is. ♥️ 3y
quietjenn @4thhouseontheleft so, against all hope, your is definitely, officially late. The tracking info isn't updated either, which I feel makes it worse, but I did send an email, so we'll see. I'm sorry. I thought mailing on the 1st would for sure get it to you on time. I know from this thread that there are others in the same boat, but I am still bummed. 3y
alisiakae @quietjenn that‘s ok! If you want, you can send me the tracking info, and I can check on my end as well. No worries! I had 2 Chanukah gifts for my hubby delivered yesterday that were ordered late Nov, and neither of the tracking numbers were updated as being delivered! 3y
Avanders Hi - I just checked the tracking on my package to @StayCurious and it says it was delivered on Tuesday morning 👏🏽👏🏽 I don‘t have mine yet, but I‘m ok being patient ☺️ 3y
StayCurious @Avanders yes I got mine! I‘m sorry yours is late! It should be there soon🤞I will wait to open mine for when you get yours! 3y
MoonWitch94 @tdrosebud Your package tracking says delivery today! 3y
Avanders @StayCurious absolutely no worries - and please don‘t wait to open yours!! 💙💙 The PO in the US has been a hot mess this month. 🤪 3y
tdrosebud @MoonWitch94 I just got home from work, but there was no package. Either it hasn't been delivered, delivered to the wrong place, or was stolen. I hope it is the first one. @Littlewolf1 , yours just says in transit, I have no idea where. I'm very sorry it hasn't reached you yet. 3y
MoonWitch94 @tdrosebud it says delivery tonight by 9pm! So it‘s in route! I‘m not opening mine until yours is received. 3y
tdrosebud @MoonWitch94 I'll keep an eye out for it, even if it is past my bedtime 😉. And don't feel like you need to wait on me, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. 3y
Littlewolf1 @tdrosebud no worries, keep me updated if you can and I will look out for it 3y
MeganAnn @kspenmoll it was just delivered!! I‘ll open it after lunch and post a photo. Open yours whenever you have a chance 😊🎉👏🏻 3y
kspenmoll @MeganAnn So glad! Sorry it was late!!! 3y
Avanders Heyyo! Package arrived today — I‘ll be able to open it by tonight 💃🏽💃🏽 @StayCurious - please do go ahead! ♥️😘 3y
StayCurious @Avanders oh yay! I‘ll post pics tomorrow! 3y
Littlewolf1 @tdrosebud hey there, just checking in to see if there had been any movement on the package. 3y
tdrosebud @Littlewolf1 Unfortunately it appears not. The last update is still from the 12th with no location listed. I know I've seen some horrible backlog pictures, at this point I'm hoping it's not horribly lost. If it comes down to it, I'll buy new and ship stuff directly to you. I would wait until after the holidays though, when some of the backlog lessens. 3y
Littlewolf1 @tdrosebud weird, I did not even get notified that you wrote back. But I did get the box today, which was awesome. Also, I never expected or wanted you to feel like you would have to re-buy the items, I was just checking in. I had also seen the pictures of the post office and honestly did not even expect it till mid January, so this was a pleasant surprise. 3y

erzascarletbookgasm I‘ve been waiting for a Austen swap for ages!! @batsy @Smarkies tell me you‘re both signing up, because our outgoing international mails are suspended 😫 3y
HOTPock3tt Despite my 2 years or so on litsy, I‘ve never been in a swap before... intimidated yet intrigued 🤔 3y
sprainedbrain @HOTPock3tt it‘s not scary, it‘s fun! @mabell and I hosted a JA swap a couple of years ago and it was AWESOME. 😍 3y
Smarkies @erzascarletbookgasm @batsy when I saw this I was so sad because of the outgoing mail situation *stupid Pos Malaysia* but if you are joining I am game! 3y
sprainedbrain @Smarkies @batsy @erzascarletbookgasm omg I hope you all join! ❤️ (edited) 3y
jenniferw88 Yay! 3y
batsy @erzascarletbookgasm @Smarkies I know, I'm so sad about the postal situation. I can't get incoming mail from Amazon or Book Depo either. I'd love to join but will wait for swap guidelines; if it's essentially Austen-themed I'm not sure where we'd be able to get the fun stuff locally 😟 3y
Smarkies @batsy that's odd... I got the book I ordered about a month ago from Book Depository last week. 3y
batsy @Smarkies I really don't understand it. My postcode is listed on Book Depository's page as areas they can't deliver to in Malaysia (though I haven't checked in the last couple of days). And at Amazon I now get a warning that physical books can't be sent to my area :/ 3y
erzascarletbookgasm @Smarkies it‘s true BD is not delivering to certain postcodes since months ago. 3y
erzascarletbookgasm @batsy @Smarkies let‘s wait to see the swap guidelines, shall we? 3y
HOTPock3tt @sprainedbrain I always worry that with my undiagnosed (yet very obvious) ADD I won‘t be able to meet the deadlines/follow the guidelines etc😶 3y
DAB This is my first thing so I am excited. 3y
sprainedbrain @HOTPock3tt if you decide to join, I can always help you (from afar), my friend. ❤️ 3y
sprainedbrain @erzascarletbookgasm @batsy @Smarkies the sign up sheet is ready and waiting, for the most part. While we were thinking it‘s Austen or regency themed, I considered having a question on the survey about non-Austen books/gifts you would like. I don‘t think it‘s a requirement that everything be JA in your gifts, and I totally understand you not being able to order/receive as you normally would. I‘m good with anything goes! 😊 3y
Smarkies @erzascarletbookgasm @batsy I didn't know about that BD issue. 😞So odd. You could always deliver it to my address and I can send it onwards if that works for you. 3y
batsy @sprainedbrain Thanks! The idea of a swap is so appealing 😆 3y
batsy @Smarkies Thank you so much for the kind offer 💜 I'll consider it my unofficial book buying ban for the moment 😅 and hopefully they start delivering again soon! 3y
Mitch Best news! I‘m in ! 👏🏼👏🏼 3y
Chrissyreadit @Avanders here‘s the official save the date 3y
Chrissyreadit @HOTPock3tt if you sign up I‘m good about checking in and posting reminders if that helps. 3y
Avanders 🥰🎄💚❤️🎄🥰 3y
Avanders Is it November first yet? 😅 I kid, I kid... 😏 3y
tdrosebud Yay! 3y

Anyone read these? A cute concept -- I have been accumulating them but haven't yet read any, even though contributer Melissa Buell is a local author...

Redwritinghood No. Sounds interesting. 7y
CrowCAH I see there's a whole series! They sound super awesome! 7y
