Please contact me with your mailing adress and I'll get your copy of Silent on the Moor sent out. I was so happy to see all the entries as this series is really something special and I hope you all get a chance to read it if you haven't yet. After all, everyone deserves a little Brisbane in their lives.

I think this is such a wonderful rendering of Brisbane.
Check out more of Doris' wonderful artwork here!
That's the perfect image of Brisbane! I love the background as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats cqueen2!
I just finished reading the first in this series and I really liked it! :D
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree about the picture, she did a great job!!
Li, the background is great, isn't it? *love*
ReplyDeleteSamantha, yay! I'm so happy to hear that. What were your favorite parts? ;)
I think I really enjoyed Raybourn's prose more than any one scene. It was very fluid and I liked Julia's reflections about everything that was going on around her. She was open-minded but still very much like a young lady of the time. I hate it when characters feel like they're from the 21st Century when they aren't. Raybourn did a great job mixing her "eccentric" upbringing with what it must have been like growing up during Queen Victoria's rule. Even Brisbane remarks how she's not like most of the women he knows. ;)
ReplyDeleteI loved the characters, too! :)
Her siblings are great. From Belmont to Val (even little things, like the exchange between the two sisters when Portia brings her dog to Julia's house had me laughing out loud).
I have the next one on order from the library, so hopefully I'll be catching up soon.
I went to the author's website and it says her next book is not part of the Julia Grey series, so I'm excited to see what direction she goes while we wait for Julia's next adventure.
