Day 24 – A book that you wish more people would’ve read
2010 Answer: Cordelia's Honor

Well, I did manage to get another person to read the one above, so my track record goes well... especially since he devoured the rest of the series AND The Hallowed Hunt.

My answer for this one is a little bit of a cheat, since I just read the book today, but it's a definite must-read for Jane Austen fans.

Sanditon by Jane Austen and "Another Lady", where an author finishes this unfinished novel.  She does it so well, in fact, that I couldn't tell precisely where she picked up.  It features a delightful heroine, Charlotte Heywood, and a really entertaining cast of characters, with some twists and turns I really enjoyed.  It's far better, IMO, than the P&P sequels and some of the other attempts at capitalizing on Austen's name.  Apparently, it was actually written in 1975 and I found a copy here in the "take one, leave one" pile.  Sometimes that REALLY works out.

Sadly it is not available on Kindle, but there are plenty of cheap copies here.
