had to read it straight through
{& no, not because it was due at the library!}
just into the story and didn't want it interrupted...


relishing this inspirational homey comfort!
gorgeous pix
both interiors and exteriors~
picnics in meadows with candlelit tree branches
gloriously faded furnishings
with well aged patinas ~
delicious afternoon dreaming...


definitely intriguing read~
mr & mrs Darcy accosted and robbed
introduced much more mystery
and many more interesting characters!
a new author to me, 
i am happy to have made her acquaintance!
i'll be pursuing more of the fascinating reads in her collection.

Last week I read "Caleb's Crossing" by Geraldine Brooks. Loved other books by her: People of the Book, and A Year of (something or other, I forget).

Now I am reading a Jenifer Weiner book titled, Then You Came.

It's a week off for me, so I plan to read a lot!

What a nice place you have , here!One feels immediately welcome. As for this post... Great books you've listed! I really liked reading Victoria Connelly's A weekend with Mr Darcy and The Perfect Hero. They are just perfect summer reads. The Intrigue at Highbury was another great Austenesque read!
