  • I love the first few books in the Pink Carnation series, but I’m on #7 and it’s starting to drag a little. Hope you enjoy that one, though!

    • I am looking forward to the 2nd. I hate that I have to wait until January to start, but December is a crazy month. I’m barely reading! Glad to know that they stay interesting for so long!

  • the only one i have read is Emma, which i loved. i have the jane steele book in my library pile at home, so hopefully i’ll get to it soon. i have to make my list for this one!

    • Yeah, Emma is a re-read for me. I couldn’t find anything on the Rory Gilmore list that I liked that I hadn’t already read. A few were even recent reads that I put off despite their popularity. So, I picked Emma as a re-read, since I like it. Jane Steele seems interesting. The reviews are good, although the synopsis is a little off putting…

  • I am excited! I am waiting on it to come in from the library, so I picked two different novels, since I have the other novel, but it’s long and I’m not sure that I will like it. I love Eleanor of Aquitaine, but I am not sure how I would feel about a fictionalized version–since I’ve read biographies.
