I only have certain countries and cultures that I was really interested in, but it's always fascinating to explore things that have happened in the past.Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-35214526133886356982014-05-10T02:12:14.899-04:002014-05-10T02:12:14.899-04:00There are some other great novels with a more seri...There are some other great novels with a more serious tone to them, if that's more your style. I'm fond of Philippa Gregory's novels, which are a touch more serious but still pretty entertaining.

Still, I enjoyed season one of Gossip Girl so you never know, right?<br /><br />Great review!<br /><br />-P.E. @ <a href="http://thesireniccodex.blogspot.ca" rel="nofollow">The Sirenic Codex</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045558423044874125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-3424351337471082652014-04-26T08:07:33.622-04:002014-04-26T08:07:33.622-04:00I love historical fiction but if this dragged a bi...I love historical fiction but if this dragged a bit I guess I'm not picking it up.
