title: Longbourn author: Jo Baker genre: Historical fiction thoughts: This is an interesting book — it’s taking the Bennetts’ (yes the Pride and Prejudice Bennetts) house staff and telling their story. I just started reading it last night so I’m literally only pages in. The verdict is still out on this one. I’ll have a full write up in… Read More
