I haven’t read any Jane Austen fanfic, but I do love modern day retellings of Jane Austen stories. My favorite is Sonali Dev’s series about an Indian American family based on Pride and Prejudice.

That one is on my list to read this year!

I've gotten into Austen retellings over the past few years but haven't read any fanfic. Thank you for the shoutout! I also enjoyed Christi's annotation guide.

Have you read The Jane Austen Society by Nathalie Jenner? Not really fan fiction, but if you haven’t read it, I think you’d enjoy it.

Oh yes! I’ve done multiple interviews with Natalie over the years. She is one of our ambassadors for the Jane Austen Literacy Foundation. Thank you for the rec though! Are you planning on reading her upcoming release Austen at Sea?

The books sound intriguing! I also fell in love with the setting and most of my stories are in a similar “world.” I love that there was still mystery, even in the most simple things!
