I also love Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, etc etc.

I didn’t love The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah – it was easy to read and compelling but sloppily written (loads of errors) and I hated the trope of the two supermodel-esque sisters.

I don’t love Philippa Gregory, even though the TV adaptations are fun. I think all of the changes to history start to get to me? Why change Mary and Anne so much?? LOL.

I tried The Unseen by Katherine Webb after loving The English Girl, but I only thought it was okay. It was kinda depressing!

I love a bit of a mystery thrown in there too!

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Please and thank you!
