Here's a list of books written within the period (Edwardian/WWI) which may also interest Downton fans: http://edwardianpromenade.com/books/v...

Hi everyone,

I have created a new group called Goodreads All Sorts and I'd love for people to join it or just even just give it a look. It's a group that discusses anything and everything. There will be monthly group reads, movies, and music. There is a folder for everything you could think of. I'd really like if people could spread the word because I'd love for the group to be a success. Here is the link to the group:

Thanks very much,
Jack :-)

Is there any list on GR that this person hasn't spammed?

Removed My Prison Without Bars: The Journey of a Damaged Woman to Someplace Normal which is marketed as a memoir about sex abuse.

If you live in the present or the current time then this is for you.

Have added many of the books from this excellent list to my tbr pile. Thank you for compiling it.

Why is The Year of Magical Thinking on this list?

Hi,
I'm the moderator of a new group called Book Obssessed. We read one standalone and one series per month from any genre. We let our group members decide with suggestions and polls. The Orchid House by Lucinda Riley (#63) from this list is our January 2017 Book of the Month. If your interested please feel free to join our group.

Hi Melanie, thank you for the invite, joined the group and ordered a copy of Orchid House. This looks like very intriguing read, can't wait to read it with everyone.

Great, thanks for joining, I look forward to the group discussion.

I don't think The Secret Life of Bees belongs here, does it?

As soon as I see, like Downton Abbey, I skip it. The constant comparison is like an advertisement. It is fictional history-romance-Edwardian- etc. A TV show is not a genre and the authors who wrote during that time should not be compared to one. ~
