Downton Abbey: Rules for Household Staff

I am probably the only person in the entire world who would adore a fake book describing the rules and procedures at Downton Abbey.

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

Wow. This was amazing. Go read it.

Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith by Deborah Heiligman

Absolutely charming. One of the best books I have ever read to the boys.

Rooms by Lauren Oliver

Lame. Totally lame.

Someplace Safe with Somebody Good by Jan Karon

Karon's books are pretty much the literary equivalent of comfort food. (Recommended especially for people with no tolerance for anything PG--these are totally clean.)

Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

Great fun.

Helen Andelin and the Fascinating Womanhood Movement by Julie Debra Neuffer

Fascinating. No, really. Especially her interaction with LDS church leaders.

A New York Christmas by Anne Perry

A nice little holiday story. Typical Perry: good plot, decent characters, a few surprises, and always more depth than you would expect from the genre.
