I have only seen movies of some of the other books and have always wanted to check out the books. As for all you historical fiction fans who love stories that take place during the Civil War era, you must check out J. Arthur Moore's latest novel, "Up From Corinth: Book 2 of Journey Into Darkness." I just finished reading it and LOVED it!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.upfromcorinth.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.upfromcorinth.com/</a> Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957358850375701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-88110732971109106942012-10-12T11:18:27.959-04:002012-10-12T11:18:27.959-04:00The Luxe is such a fun guilty pleasure (as is Brig...The Luxe is such a fun guilty pleasure (as is Bright Young Things).

Super glad to see it pop up. <3<br /><br />Anne of Green Gables is a childhood favorite of mine, I try and do a reread of the entire series every year but its been awhile and I definitely could use a Gilbert fix.<br /><br />A lot of the others I have on my TBR list [most definitely Philipa Gregory, its sitting bedside just waiting to be read!] and I'm currently on a reread of Pride and Prejudice because its been entirely too long and I hardly remember anything except for from the movie.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252698091519424174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244224993534617084.post-86856940168062279252012-10-09T23:24:24.348-04:002012-10-09T23:24:24.348-04:00Great choices.
