George Vanderbilt‘s personal library! The Biltmore Estate was just incredible. #fallbreak

Scochrane26 Did they tell you there‘s a private reading room off the library? It‘s used as something else, but that‘s where I would have been most days. 2y

JenReadsAlot I want to go there! 2y

britt_brooke @Scochrane26 We did the audio tour, and I don‘t recall it mentioning that, but that‘s where I‘d be, too! 2y

britt_brooke @JenReadsAlot The whole is estate is just beautiful; opulence to the extreme! 2y

LeahBergen Bucket list for me! 2y

HeatherBookNerd It‘s really something! 2y

britt_brooke @LeahBergen I hope you see it someday. It‘s incredible! 2y

britt_brooke @HeatherBookNerd Blew my mind! 2y

Scochrane26 @britt_brooke One of the staff members told me about the room last time during a conversation. I don‘t think I‘ve ever done the audio tour—probably should. It‘s always hard to decide what season to go in—Christmas is a popular time, but tulip season in the gardens is beautiful. 2y

batsy That looks incredible 😍 2y

britt_brooke @Scochrane26 They were *just* starting to decorate for Christmas while we were there (it was last month). I‘d love to see it fully decorated. 🤩 2y

britt_brooke @batsy Over 22,000 books, they say. 🤩 2y

Lcsmcat @britt_brooke It‘s amazing at Christmas! But @Scochrane26 is also right about the gardens. The azaleas alone are worth the trip. 2y

britt_brooke @Lcsmcat I LOVE azaleas! 2y

Estates: An Intimate History | Lynsey Hanley

Going to try and read more from my own shelves this year (I'm in the middle of - finally - hanging some pictures, hence the junk in the corner).

Anna Karenina | Leo Tolstoy

Levin and his #estates weren‘t enough for Kitty, at least at first. #catchingup #150PnPCoverParty @CrowCAH @LeahBergen

CrowCAH Very true!cant say it worked out well in the end. 7y

LeahBergen True! 👏🏻👏🏻 7y

Persuasion | Jane Austen

I‘m enjoying browsing everyone‘s posts for the #150PnPCoverParty while reading Chapters 11-20 of Persuasion to discuss with my mom and niece next week. We‘re slowly rereading Austen‘s works and discussing them. So far, #estates , #money , and #neighbors have all played a big role in this one!

LeahBergen, CrowCAH

LeahBergen As they seem to in all her novels, right? I love your Austen book club with your family! 7y

CrowCAH Yay, thanks for joining the fun! Persuasion is a fav of mine too!!! 7y

KVanRead How fun! 7y

readinginthedark @LeahBergen That‘s true! This one stands out even more, I think, or earlier on. In this middle part, Austen really distinguishes the differences between the living spaces in Kellynch, Uppercross, and Lyme before she even gets to Bath! But you‘re right—all three are big factors in her novels! And thanks! We‘re having fun with it. 😊 (edited) 7y

readinginthedark @CrowCAH It‘s always competing with Pride and Prejudice for my favorite book! ❤️ 7y

readinginthedark @KVanRead It is! We have an interesting time comparing different experiences and seeing how that affects our Austen reading. 😊 7y

Death Comes to Pemberley | P. D. James

#150PnPCoverParty #Estates Not my favorite P.D. James, but I did love getting to spend more time at Pemberley. @LeahBergen @CrowCAH

LeahBergen Exactly, but still a fun read. 👍🏻 7y

KVanRead @LeahBergen Agree!! 7y

CrowCAH It was my first PD James and I have to agree, spending time at Pemberley with my favs was worth the murder! 7y

readinginthedark I‘ve never read anything else by P.D. James. I feel like I would have liked this one more if I were actually spending time with Elizabeth and Darcy, but she didn‘t reflect the original characters in my opinion. She writes well, and it was okay. This was kind of a bummer comment—sorry! 7y

KVanRead @CrowCAH Yes, definitely the best part. 7y

KVanRead @readinginthedark Oh I totally agree. She is a master of crime and police procedural but I‘m not sure the style of those fit very well with PnP. Though I enjoy thinking that she must also be an Austen fan.😊 7y

KVanRead @CrowCAH @readinginthedark I quite like her Adam Dalgliesh series... two I found particularly good are👇 (edited) 7y

readinginthedark Oh, totally! I read an interview with her a while back, and she was saying that the reason she wrote this was because of how much she loves Austen, which is cool. 7y

CrowCAH @KVanRead thanks for letting me know; I‘ll keep them in mind! 7y

Anna Karenina | Leo Tolstoy

I would love to visit the Russian #estates described in Anna Karenina. I don‘t know what it is, but old Russia seems like a fairy tale to me. Minus the awful societal problems.
