I thought there was something quite inspirational about the sacrifices that the characters make for the people they love and it's a beautiful book. Still one of my favourites after a few years! I hope you find yourself back in the mood for it soon :)<br /><br />I got the Downton Abbey DVDs for Christmas and only just got round to watching them. Obviously now I have no idea why I waited so long! My mother-in-law has <i>The World of Downton Abbey</i> on the coffee table pretty much all the time but I've resisted the temptation so far in case I ruin the series - hopefully I'll get to peek soon!Lit Addicted Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307643382274474774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6964015410047284973.post-69537521311853036242012-01-30T14:31:01.745-05:002012-01-30T14:31:01.745-05:00I just got Spying in High Heels for my Nook - it l...I just got Spying in High Heels for my Nook - it looks like a fun series!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361326880689146372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6964015410047284973.post-84298750711589612922012-01-30T13:25:35.975-05:002012-01-30T13:25:35.975-05:00I like Chris Bohjalian's writing - his book Sk...I like Chris Bohjalian's writing - his book Skeletons At the Feast is fab!<br /><br />Happy reading :)<br /><br /><a href="http://theaussiezombie.blogspot.com/2012/01/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-4.html" rel="nofollow">What I'm Reading @ The Aussie Zombie</a>Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312515005865122767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6964015410047284973.post-24906197032149411442012-01-30T11:08:30.935-05:002012-01-30T11:08:30.935-05:00The Buffalo Soldier sounds like one I need to look...The Buffalo Soldier sounds like one I need to look into to, I also like your lighter reading.<br /><br />Have a great week!!dollycas aka Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083999148282652155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6964015410047284973.post-63061107473731101972012-01-30T09:03:25.882-05:002012-01-30T09:03:25.882-05:00How to save a life and ripper both sound really go...How to save a life and ripper both sound really good!
