Thanks for your mini review, just added the ‘Life Below Stairs’ to my list of books To Read on GoodReads. Looking forward to it, I’d love to know more about the rules regarding how the downstairs was run.

Two interesting reads. I love Downton Abbey and I loved The King’s Speech

Both of these appeal to me a lot. We have Upstairs Downstairs on our Netflix queue to rewatch this year — I loved that show.

I saw The King’s Speech on audiobook at the library but wasn’t sure I would like it. I DID like the movie, but my movie/book tastes are usually opposite.

I loved The King’s Speech and will have to look for the book. I bet my mother would love it too.

I don’t know much to be honest – I think that’s the one written by the current Countess at Highclere, isn’t it? I’ve been curious about it myself. I can’t imagine it will be TOO inaccurate given the Countess will have access to all of her papers and information, but it might be sensationalized a bit to sell more.

If you read the book, let me know how it is!

The first one sounds good!

Meghan what do you know about Lady Almina? I saw there’s a book about her but IDK how accurate it is, etc…

I actually wasn’t a huge fan of The King’s Speech movie… I am not so sure I would like the book, but maybe it would work better for me.
