This is one of my favorite posts, because it’s a chance to share and celebrate all the upcoming releases in the Jane Austen universe! Last year was a huge year, with it being Jane’s 250th birthday and all, but there are still plenty of new books on my radar.
Needless to say I am very impatiently waiting for The Fatal Unpleasantness at Netherfield {out today! Spoiler: no preorder, because I believe there’s a birthday trip to the bookstore coming soon}. This series has been such a joy to read, and I’m very curious about this installment’s journey.
I’m also very excited Claudia Gray will be finishing The Watsons later this year! Picking up where someone like Jane left off can be a monumental undertaking, but I am confident Gray will provide us with a fabulous story.
Very intrigued by the premise of Most Ardently Yours {shades of Lost in Austen, with Mr Darcy coming off the page}, and I have to include Murder at Enscombe Park, because Emma Knightley as a sleuth is one of the best developments in the Austenesque universe.
I read Austenland and Midnight in Austenland on their initial release, and am a tremendous fan of the movie {it’s perfectly ridiculous}. When I saw Shannon Hale’s announcement of Christmas in Austenland, as well as updated editions of the previous two? Definitely added to the list.
In the world of Sense and Sensibility retellings, you often get one Dashwood sister or the other. Ruth Mitchell decided to give us both sisters, with their own books. Unromantic is Elinor’s story, and Romantic is Marianne’s, and I think this is the most wonderful idea.
Are any of these upcoming releases on your radar?
Have you heard of any that I have missed and should know about?
The Summer of Jane is a brilliant idea! I just got my audiobook of for The Fatal Unpleasantness at Netherfield and I can’t wait to get started. I’m making myself finish my current audiobook first. I’m adding all of your Jane books to my TBR list. Thank you for so many great suggestions!

Yay! It’s so hard to finish in-process books when shiny new ones land in our hands 😀 I’m waiting until my birthday to snag a copy, so I can get some other books read 😉 LOL!
And yay! I’m glad I could expand your TBR 😀

Don’t they though??? I’m a huge fan of retellings and remixes, and am quite excited about the idea of a Sense & Sensibility “duo” 🙂

Oh yay, I’m so glad I could help you find more Jane-ish books! 😀 I’m a huge Jane Austen fangirl {if you couldn’t tell 😉 }, and am always happy to talk Austenesque! ❤

What a cool idea to list all the books somehow referring or related to Jane! It looks like a fun list but I just need to finish one actual Jane book this year! 😂😂 it will be Sense and Sensibility I am sure since I’ve always liked the movie with Emma Thompson.

There’s a whole section in one of my bookcases that is Jane-oriented books 😀 😂 Sense & Sensibility is a good one, and the movies are so good. My favorite adaptation is the one with Dan Stevens though 🙂

I hope you enjoy all of these whenever you get a chance to read them. I didn’t realise Claudia Gray was set to finish off an incomplete Austen work, definitely a daunting undertaking. I love the cover for Murder At Enscombe Park, the colours are so cute. Ive heard of Austenland but never read or seen it 🙈 a Christmas installment sounds delightful though. It seems like perfect timing with the Dashwood sisters books too with the upcoming movie. I hope you enjoy your birthday bookshop trip and have a wonderful time on the day itself too.

And thank you ❤ I've got a few weeks {the bookstore list may be huge by then, LOL}, but Mr has one coming soon too 😀 hehe
