  1. I'm liking historical fiction set in England a lot these days too, my last few reads have been Regency and 1930's country house tales. Nice list of books!

  2. I love European historicals, esp. Russian and set during the WWII/Shoah era. I also love Japanese historicals and really need to seek out more of them. It would also be nice to find more historicals set in Africa, and to get reacquainted with 18th and 19th century American historicals.
