I assume you've read To Marry An English Lord, right? What else do you recommend?

Oh yeah! I love it. I picked up The Glitter and the Gold by Consuela Vanderbilt herself, and I have a bunch of books on old Manhattan. Oh, and I have A Backwards Glance by Edith Wharton, too. A lot of other research has been piecemeal, on the web, or just thumbing through books in the library.

I've got a bunch of old etiquette books from that era. Fascinating reading.

This - a picture of the Isle of Dogs circa 1961, on the left - is so damned pretty. Makes me nostalgic for London, which I rarely get.

Hey all. We have a misterpoll set up to gauge how many people are interested in attending Target Tampa with Suzanne Brockmann to celebrate the release of her new book.

Weekend with Suzanne Brockmann Poll

There will be signings of her new book, and your library, as well a party and some writing workshops.

We also have a mailing list if you'd like updates on this event.

Deb, still plugging on Flower (stupid real life). They off to France, and I'm still all "Go, Agnes!" Is it wrong of me that I prefer the ghost to the living heroine? Penny's a nice lady and all, but Agnes seems so much more real and vibrant.

connie, the living heroine in this one is in a state of complete disarray - but there's more to the story to come yet.

Oh, goody.

edit: you know, of course, that now I have to track down Weaver, darn you.

What's to track? It's a Readers Choice selection in the Salt Lake City County library system - they've got over a hundred copies.

On the author's side of that statement of need, however, I'm simply going to do a Nelson Muntz: HA-ha!

Salt Lake City County library system

Which is not the Utah County library system, of which I am a part. Of course, I haven't looked, yet, either.

Hmmmm. Utah County. Is that Pleasant Grove? I don't think they've got it, but I suspect they do sharing, don't they?
