If you find something in the States or Canada but can't get it over there, let me know and i'll willingly get it for you in the UK.
I live in what is called the 'Garden of England', and close to where 'The Darling Buds of May was filmed,
Good to know others love England as much as i do and i live here,

My favorite if Katie FForde, she writes delightful books. I also like MC Beaton and Agatha Christie.

I've just finished a book called A Tangled Summer by Caroline Kington which I really enjoyed.

If you like historical ones there is Elizabeth Chadwick.

Also Val McDermid is good.

If I think of any others I'll be back :)

I've just been watching this too. It was really good. I also enjoyed Downton Abbey and Lost in Austen if you can get these on DVD. I'm sure you'll enjoy them too!

Have you read any Penny Vincenzi books? They are British.

I'm reading and enjoying Illegal Action by Stella Rimington (now deceased former head of MI5)
Good espionage story

I loved the Outlander series!

I am currently enjoying Barbara Erskine's Lady of Hay: Two Women, Eight Hundred years and the Destiny They Share

A modern day woman, past life regression, several not-so-nice fellows...

Very interesting so far :-)

I've read the Morland Dynasty series. I am now enjoying book number 33. The author is Cynthia Harrod-Eagles and the family begins in the dark ages until after WWII. I bought most of these books from Amazon. She also writes a series of mysteries about a detective. I have not read any of them.

I too love Rosamunde Pilcher - she has written a lot of books. I've enjoyed all I've read.

I've already watched Downton Abbey, but will have to add Lost in Austen. Thanks so much! I love to read to, but find it very difficult to stitch and read at the same time, so I cheat a bit and DVD it! :D
