It is such a pleasure for me to be part of the blog tour for Elizabeth Adams' latest, The 26th of November. I loved her first book, The Houseguest. It has always been one of my favorites, so I was eager to read the newest book. I was not disappointed. My part in the blog tour is a review, and I will get to that a little later.Thanks to Claudine Pepe for organizing the blog tour, and to both ladies for including me. Elizabeth, I hope you are enjoying the blog tour and I wish the best with The 26th of November. I love your cover and the statement on the front. Clever!

_________________________________________________________________________My share in the conversation...
The story
beings after the Netherfield Ball. In Elizabeth’s eyes, the ball was a
disaster. She was embarrassed and disgusted with the behavior of her relations.
The day after the ball, found Elizabeth once again in an embarrassing and awful
situation, all thanks to Mr. Collins. Thursday morning dawned “bright and clear,”
and Elizabeth was hopeful that this day would be uneventful. It was not to be. This
time the pain was Jane’s, and Lizzy felt her family was partly to blame. As
Lizzy lay in bed that night, she wished her family had behaved better, at least
in public. With that wish the cycle of a repeated day begins.
There are
many things about this book that I loved. In fact, I cannot think of anything
that I did not like. One of the first things that impressed me was the way the
author handled the reliving of the same day over and over. She didn’t recount exact
details of each day. She kept the plot moving along. The day might be repeating
but Ms. Adams telling of it was not. She kept it lively and varied. I
found that refreshing, as each day held something new and fun. When Elizabeth
realized she could do or say anything and no one would remember – until “he”
did – it made for some great and well-deserved conversations and actions.
Superb job, Elizabeth Adams.
As usual for
Ms. Adams, her writing was good and her story telling, excellent. I laughed and
I sighed. There were many really good scenes with Darcy, and some hilarious
scenes with other characters. The story was well done and made me feel happy. That
brings me to another thing I loved, which was the ending. I wasn’t ready for it
to end, but when it did, the ending left me feeling good and warm inside. I want a book to leave me
feeling satisfied, and this
one did. Thank you, Elizabeth
Adams, for another novel well done. The first book I read by Ms. Adams, The Houseguest, was awesome. I loved her Mr. Darcy in it and I loved him in this last one, The 26th of November, another awesome book. I highly recommend it.
