Friday Focus--More Downton Abbey Reading

Earlier this month, I announced the debut of a weekly posting on the Novelist blog in which librarian Lisa Schimmer provides book recommendations tailored to each episode of this season's Downton Abbey.  Since the January 8th publication of my post, there have been two more DA recommended reading lists, which are summarized below.

In case you missed the books recommended for the Season 3 premiere, see the blog post Reading the World of Downton Abbey.

If you live in a cold climate, curl up indoors this weekend with a warm beverage and a good book while you await the next episode of Downton Abbey.  That's what I'm planning to do.

Enjoy life with books and have a good weekend.
