   Wonderful!
   It could have been a wondeful masterpiece if Jane had ended it!!
   Last year I have read 2 sequels to this novel, but, you know, Jane is Jane. Inimitable!
   Thank you Laurell Ann

   I’m In!!! I actually just read the Hesperus Edition (got in on Librarything Early Reviewers) and am working on a review. It’s so hard to review an unfinished draft! Looking forward to discussing, as I still don’t know what to make of it.

   I am thinking of reading the “finished” edition next — I forget who wrote the one I have, but I’m curious to see whether they changed any of the first 12 chapters, or just picked up where Jane left off…

   Count me in too! I have never read Sanditon — tried when we had the AGM in San Francisco in 1997? but could not get into it.

   I bought a copy that has both Sanditon and Lady Susan a couple of months ago, and I can’t wait to read it. So count me in, too!

   This is actually on my to-read list! I was going to read it later in the year, but I’ll move it up to next month since you’re hosting this group read. I’ll see you by the sea, Laurel Ann!

    This sounds like fun!

    Loredana mentioned reading two sequels or completions to “Sanditon.” I assume that one of them may have been Reginald Hill’s “The Price of Butcher’s Meat : a Dalziel and Pascoe mystery.”

    Ok, I’ve got my flannel bathing dress on, ready to take the plunge. Count me in, LA! =)

    
    
16. on 26 February 2010 at 7:32 pm Janeen

    I gladly accept and am soooooo looking forward to it! This is going to be fun! By the way, can I have a umbrella with my lounge chair by the sea please? tee hee

    By the way, forgot to tell you how pretty the picture for the event is! Great graphics!

      Thanks Janeen. Yes, the graphic is quite lovely. I give credit to Kali for the creation and Mandy N and Julie W. for the images. It is such a comfort to have such clever and amiable friends.

    Just sent for my own copy last week along with The Watsons; tried a Austenation by Julia Barrett but wanted to see what the “real” thing was like. I will be waiting in my bathing machine until the fun starts on the 15th!

    This sounds delightful!

    Will I be able to purchase a parasol at Whitby’s?

    I can only find beach umbrellas here in Los Cabos. =o

    YES! Count me in, Laurel Ann. I’m excited since I greatly love the seaside and your … Austen reading/discussing events. Can’t wait to start!

    I would like to be included! Haven’t read it yet, so I can’t wait!

    I’d love to join.

    Oh this sounds lovely! I’ve read one of the sequels based on Sandition, but I’d like to read more of the original.

    I would dearly love to attend and wonder if I may swim. I have acquired daring swimwear that shows my ankles which are not good, but as we are all women, it won’t matter.

      Sea bathing permitted under the supervision of Mrs. Bennet. She guarantees it to set your up for some time.

      
      
31. on 3 March 2010 at 6:14 am Marie Burton

    OOH I am so here!! This is my RSVP and I’ve got your little graphic linked up on my sidebar. It will be awesome!

    
    
    • on 3 March 2010 at 11:38 pm Laurel Ann

      Thanks Marie. Look forward to you thoughts.

    I’d love to join. I never participated in a joined read before, but I haven’t read Sanditon in a long time and would like to reread it and see what other people think of it.

    
    
33. on 3 March 2010 at 2:05 pm Monica Fairview

    I’d love to join in the fun. I’ve read Sanditon a couple of times and find it intriguing. I’ll be putting up photos of Brighton to celebrate the event.

    
    
    • on 3 March 2010 at 11:36 pm Laurel Ann

      Thanks Monica! Look forward to your photos of Brighton! I’m sure that Lydia and Kitty Bennet will too!

    I thought I had already RSVPed but it seems I was mistaken. I’m definitely participating, as I absolutely adore Sanditon. I’m forever haunted by the specter of “poor Mr. Hollis”.

    
    
35. on 5 March 2010 at 9:59 am Meredith

    Since I was so disappointed about missing your Lady Susan discussion a few months back, I am so veryeager and excited to participate in this one! I’ll put the lovely graphic in my sidebar too. Can’t wait!!

    
    
36. on 6 March 2010 at 6:24 pm Maxine

    This sounds great. I’ve owned a copy of Sanditon forever and I’ve never read it. Count me in!

    I bought this book for myself at Christmas and have been keeping it on my bedside table. Daring not to open it because then it would no longer be a mystery to me. But how can I refuse your invitation. I would love to have a group reading of the hidden gem
    Thank you so much.

      You are welcome Missy. I look forward to your comments.

    I read Sanditon years ago, but look forward to reading it again!
