I really liked this book. It's a sequel to A Great and Terrible Beauty. It's a story of a girls school set back in the 1800's where a group of girls discover magic and a new secret world. I liked the second book better than the first but I loved the characters and how easy it was to get wrapped up and lost in the book. It has great imagery and even a little sensuality though completely clean! A good read in my opinion. Right up my alley! I'd rate it 4 out of 5 stars.
And my question... Does anyone else do this....? After I read a book I think like I'm in a book. Like after reading a book like this I'll see a mess and think "Oh the immense chaos that surrounds me threatens to drag me under and suffocate me with the monotony of it all" (This sentance is also spoken in an English accent in my head.)
Please tell me somebody else is as weird as me. (If not- that's okay too- I enjoy being slightly strange- it's fun like that!)

I wanna hear your english accent.
Too cute ... when I read a book by a British author, I always read with an English accent in my head. It sounds better in there than if I were to try it out loud! ... Kim Bee
You do that too????????!!!!! Hallelujah, maybe I'm not insane!!
Wow! I knew I wasn't the only one who did that, but you're the first person to confess. I totally think like the book I've been reading. It's takes a minute (or many) to come back to real life.
I wish I did that! My brain is not that creative right now! I am totally overloaded, and I admire the fact that you have time to even read. If I started a book, I might get a page in before I drift off to la la land. But I did love the sentence that you created! Very clever!
Hello Nicole!
I was just peeking around peoples blogs and thought I would say hi. Hi. I have to tell you that I think your kids are very cute, they have the best photo faces. Those boys are darlin'! I am reading "Wicked" right now (the broadway play is based on it). Have you read that? It's kinda wicked actually, it's taking me forever, it's a strange one, but I gotta know how the wicked witch came to be.
C ya-
After reading the Twilight series I was dreaming like I was Bella and who should I pick for like a week at least. The dreams were way to realistic too....yeah I am weird that way for sure.
