Maybe I'll read it and love it so much that I'll convince to finally take it off the to-read list!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894280457253592167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-63838264970293463912012-03-27T12:54:35.806-04:002012-03-27T12:54:35.806-04:00Thanks Jillian!

I've heard so many great things about both, and I'm happy you concur! I have noticed other people saying similar things about American Heiress, but I'm hoping for the best.

If you say they're good, then I'm even more excited to read them! Is it bad that I did a Google search for books similar to Downton Abbey?

The Night Circus and The House at Tynedford were also entertaining and fun. I just recently abandoned American Heiress because I just didn't really enjoy the characters or flow, but who knows...

Hooray! American Heiress and House at Tyneford are on my sometime-in-the-future-TBR (Downton Abbey love, of course) and if you have good things to say about Looking For Green Gables I might have to add that to my list!

I own Memoirs of a Geisha, but haven't made it to reading it yet. Though I wasn't crazy about the story of Great Gatsby, the writing was fantastic. If you like classics, Lolita was fabulous. I absolutely love Nabokov's writing style!
