I can't get enough of the houses, countryside, and costumes...getting the scoop on the social propriety of the day makes it all the better.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-3119667624231770692013-02-27T13:13:52.110-08:002013-02-27T13:13:52.110-08:00So good to hear!

Up & Down Stairs was much more a history, so it required a different reading mood, but well done and interesting for all that.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-25506514015507860182013-02-27T13:12:09.502-08:002013-02-27T13:12:09.502-08:00I go through waves of interest in different histor...I go through waves of interest in different historical periods, but I seem to be jumping around all over the place right now which feels rather odd.
