Libraries to make Belle green with envy.

This decadent New Orleans mansion.

This plush mansion will have you feeling like New Orleans royalty. Nestled in the heart of the Garden District, you'll find yourself shaded by leafy palm and oak trees should you choose to venture out – though with hundreds of books, a sweeping carved-cypress staircase, stained glass windows, music room and "ladies parlour" (ladies parlours are the best parlours, fact) it would be understandable if you wanted to stay in.

This chic Edinburgh apartment.

This generously spaced apartment is just so airy with it's wide windows and classical white panelled walls. The fireplace, writing desk and wall of books complete the "Jane Austen reading room" feel of the place. I also really enjoy that it comes with a mini bar, so you can sip on a little whisky while you work your way through a novel.
