  2. OMG STAR TREK. I love that movie.
    I'm still surprised Twilight is on it, and that Avatar isn't...

  3. I'm not sure I get how Twilight fits the theme, but oh well, I'm not surprised to see it there. But I'm shocked Avatar isn't nominated yet!

Post Downton Abbey Reading List

Downton Abbey is over (with a shocking and frustrating ending!) and now I'm suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I've got a reading list full of books that I hope will satisfy my post-Downton Abbey cravings and I thought I'd share what's in my pile and get suggestions for other after Downton reads. Here's what I hope to be reading this year (a mix of YA and adult titles):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A couple Julian Fellowes reads:                And a few re-reads:                    Edited to add: What's on your Post-Downton Abbey reading list?
