This week there were quite a few new book reviews for A JANE AUSTEN DAYDREAM. For example, on Good Reads one reader (author Jeannie Walker) wrote in a 5-star review:

I like how this talented author, crafts his novel with Jane Austen spending her days writing and matchmaking until she goes to a ball that launches  her into searching for her own romantic love. Scott D. Southard puts us  into Jane’s world and right in the middle of the action with this well-written and carefully crafted novel… wonderful.

And here is an excerpt from a review on the blog Mom’s Time 2 Write-

I don’t know what I was expecting, but it has to be one of the best pieces of fiction I’ve read in a while.  Scott D. Southard’s “A Jane Austen Daydream” had me at page one.  He is a very gifted storyteller with the ability to bring you into the story quickly and keep you there.   I felt every disappointment, triumph and tragedy.  I literally could not put it down.  And the twist at the end was written so well that it took a moment for me to realize what he’d done.

And finally on the blog Tricia’s Thoughts, the writer notes (in a review that does make me blush a little):

Don’t you just love it when you happen to come across THE BOOK that you want to devour, as though starving; yet at the same time, attempting to force yourself to slow down in order to savor every word, procrastinating that inevitable ending. I know that I have to have another book available to alleviate the feeling of loss.

I found it. My latest find, is A Jane Austen Daydream, is just that. I can’t remember finding one since The Help, that hit my over-the-top scale. I simply loved it. I have reviewed it, entered it in two book clubs to which I belong and given it to every reader I know!
