1.The Tatta Hitotsu no Koi soundtrack. I never listen to instrumental music – it depresses me – but I’ve been obsessed with the soundtrack to this Japanese drama for the past two days. So lovely, wistful and delicate and yet not sad. Ethereal maybe.

Download the entire OST from here(one file) or single mp3s from here. Not uploaded by me.

2. The Glass of Time, by Michael Cox.

Excellent if flawed Gothic mystery with tinges of romance. Riveting and deliciously atmospheric from almost its first page. It’s not perfectly written – the romance in particular fell a bit flat toward the end – but it’s so rare to find a good period thriller. Very Rebecca-like.

For obvious reasons if you know me.

4. This Kate and Sawyer video from Lost.

So useful for inveterate web-surfer/saver/bookmarker me.

6. Little Dorrit

This 14(!) episode BBC adaptation of the Dickens novel promises to be lovely, romantic, and as broodingly dirty a picture of London as every Dickens novel ever written. Though based on the first episode there’s going to be a lot of exposition going on before we’re allowed to start figuring out what’s actually happenning. Dickens’ stories always function on some level as mysteries. Plus, Matthew MacFadyen!
