January Contest: Downton Book Giveaway

Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey: The Lost Legacy of Highclere Castle, by The Countess of Carnarvon (2011)

You know I'm a big Downton fan, have been since the beginning. I'm actually a "Masterpiece" junky.
 I'm an Anglophile... I dig (in a big way) British history, culture, accents. It doesn't matter the era, either.  I'm sort of a connoisseur of English historical novels and biographies. At some point I'll post all of my favorites, but today, I'm ecstatic to announce January's Giveaway!  "Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey, the Lost Legacy of Highclere Castle, by the Countess of Carnarvon" is a fun read for all of you Downton Abbey fans that would like to sink your teeth into a little true life Landed Gentry goodness! And to cap it all off, it is a signed copy, direct from Highclere itself!
So come back often from January 14th - January 31st and enter as often as you like.  The winner will be announced and contacted on Feb. 1st!

      Me either...it is torture. Last season I couldn't wait and I bought the season from pbs so that I could get through it. I'm trying to be good and take Season 3 one Sunday at a time!

      Thanks for stopping in, Jen!!! You have a great chance at winning it! I'm half way through reading my copy and it is fun. I sort of visualize Highclere after seeing so much of it on Downton. You'll love it!

    I began reading this book when I borrowed it from the library but I had too stop because I had final exams. I hope to read this book once again ^.^

      Hi Gabby! I hope you did well on your finals!!! This is a fun read, feels like someone telling a story about a relative instead of a stuffy biography. Hope you get a chance to pick up reading it again...and maybe it will be your own copy from me ?;)
      Thanks for coming over and leaving the post! You have a great chance to win, come back everyday to do so!!!
