Longbourn! ❤️ #EnglishHouse #aprella

I was drawn to Chalk Man because it immediately made me think of Slenderman. The story focuses on a boy named Eddie who lives in an #englishhouse in England-duh. Young Eddie experiences some mysterious deaths and as he gets older he and his childhood friends try to figure out wtf really happened. It was a creepy (and fun!) read and reminded me a lot of the show Stranger Things! #aprella

"Before there was Downton Abbey, there was Abingdon Pryory..." This trilogy follows the Greville family & their household staff who reside at their English country estate, Abingdon Pryory, from the Great War, through the jazz age and into WWII. These books came out in the 70s & 80s but were reissued with Downton Abbey's massive success & the interest in British sweeping family sagas.

Here‘s one from the TBR with a pretty #EnglishHouse cover. I‘ve never read any Allingham before but she‘s one of the greats from the Golden Age of mysteries.

The Boroughs in Northhampton provides the backdrop for the epic Jerusalem. This Oikos is an #englishhouse which remains true to Moore's heritage and literary style. Could do with being hacked away at to make a more succinct, sharply formed novel but in spite of these flaws it's an unforgettable read - for all the right reasons!

#englishhouse #aprella I have never read this straight through, but have often read sections when reading novels of English houses or watching Downton Abbey.An incredible amount of work goes into running a large home,some things covered in this book includes a summary of a housemaids timetable ,1926, & tables of how much washing was done monthly and annually.Lady Grenville called her footman a “lazy flunkey” cuz he complained about drawing👇

A supernatural story set in rural Warwickshire in a dilapidated #englishhouse. Sarah Waters can do no wrong for me ❤️ #aprella
