I'm currently reading it and loving it. Felt a lot of kinship with the author, who, as it happens, grew up close to where I did. I tried several years ago to read "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell," but could not get into it, despite being one who loves tales of the fae. Maybe because I couldn't sympathize or identify with any of the characters - for at least as far as I got. Have noted some of the others on your list as well. Have you read all of these yet? Any favorites? I recently read a couple of books set in Cornwall, just because I love the setting, though never have been. Unfortunately, they were more of the chick lit variety and forgettable. Speaking of Cornwall, are you watching Poldark? I can remember watching the first series! Finding this one enjoyable, too.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021913578112308091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-68082582787906744212015-06-24T17:54:10.077-04:002015-06-24T17:54:10.077-04:00For certain, I did not need more books to add to m...For certain, I did not need more books to add to my summer list, but pleased I've seen yours.

Thanks for reminding me to order A Shepherd's Life from my local bookstore. I have a similar character in my WIP. I adore your photos too.

Here is a threshold of possibility just waiting for me to cross, for I have not read any of these you have suggested.<br /><br />I took Wolf Hall with me to London earlier this month and fell in love with it. Good writing. Dry humor. I have been watching the PBS version and can hear Thomas Cromwell speak when I read it. While in Foyles, I bought Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett ( a much better selection of his books in the UK). And I picked up H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald in the London Review Bookshop. Suitcases, like handbags, should be large to accommodate the reading material.Nib's Endhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820552995581749771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-25172500126212006042015-06-14T22:40:53.495-04:002015-06-14T22:40:53.495-04:00Love your book lists!

It was part of the development of my deep love for all things British as well as the development of the appreciation of wit. On a trip to England, I kept my roomies awake at night laughing as I read her book, Cotillion. I highly recommend it. I also just have to ask (although I'm certain that the answer is "yes")- are you familiar with the artwork of Sulamith Wulfing? You must be.

I must have ADD because if I were at the beach, I wouldn't be able to get one page read without having to re-read it. I'd be too busy looking around. Tell me your favorite of the lot. I have read so many stinkers lately, I can't trust my own judgement (or the reviewers) anymore and it galls me to pay that much for the stinkers. I have decided that books are like perfume. Such individual things.
