This book just sounds interesting! I like that it's told in so many voices and in odd ways. It might be an odd read, but I have high hopes that the author is going to pull this one off! Also, who doesn't love a good American girl goes to England story! I'm always down for one of those!
What are you waiting on this week? I wanna know!

So I've never heard of this one but it totally sounds intriguing! I'm crazy curious and I can always use another boarding school story in my life, especially if it's set in the past! Very cool.
Oh, sounds so good. Though, it put me off at first with so many characters, so glad it's written differently for the perspective, hopefully they won't get drowned out. Adding this one to the list. Thanks for stopping by mine yesterday! :)
