Hi unicornkisses - I have a library room too but spilling over onto any spare wall in the house.You might like Margery Allingham and Dorothy Sayers - great vintage crime with the focus on detection rather than the awful ways people can be murdered - bit like Agatha Christie Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot. Hi Viking1 First read The Darling Buds of May as a teenager and loved the tv series too.If you'd like something fascinating to watch have you seen "The Up Series" by Michael Apted -every 7 years since the 1960s he has interviewed he same group of people in UK starting when they were 7- you might be able to get it thru you library- most remarkable thing I've ever seen.Hi artferret - always been a Bronte fan myself but the Tele movies sparked my interest in Austen.Must get a copy of the Atwood as hearing so much about it.Great to read you all on the blog xoxoxo
