    @Danielle & @Blodeuedd: I'm really excited about it -- I'm doing a comparison review with DuMaurier's Rebecca since it's getting buzz about being v reminiscent of it. Here's hoping!

    @Elysium: I'm so excited as it's an era I'm curious about but haven't read a ton of -- love books like this.

    Most of these are new to me. I picked up A Moveable Feast several weeks ago after finishing The Paris Wife. I need to remember to read it :)

    I've seen some of these titles around...like When God Was a Rabbit.

    I have A Moveable Feast on my stacks...and, like Mary, picked it up after reading The Paris Wife.

    Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST

    I read When God Was a Rabbit last weekend and loved it - hope you will too.

    I'm looking forward to The Lantern which should be in my library very soon.

    When God was a Rabbit is a intriguing read. The Lantern and the Nicola Upson book are the two I am particularly interested in!

    Wow! You got some great books in.

    A Moveable Feast is one of my favorite books and the only Hemingway I'm crazy about.

    I'm also reading The Lantern and loving it. :)

    I read the first in Lauren Willig's series but I wasn't a huge fan. I think I might need to revisit the series and try again.

    Nice haul, though; The Lantern is GORGEOUS. I'm off to goodreads to learn more actually
