I will be out of town and more importantly away from my trusted computer for the rest of the week! I am sure I will miss a lot of the happenings in blog land so, bear with! I will do my best to keep up to date on ye olde Twitter, so you can always reach me there!
So a few things before I head out:
Last week we had a poll "Why do you love 18th century France?" and the results are in!
The art | 37 (39%) |
The fashion | 68 (73%) |
The political scene | 20 (21%) |
The music | 30 (32%) |
The theatre | 21 (22%) |
The royal court | 43 (46%) |
The architecture | 39 (41%) |
The scandals! | 33 (35%) |
Clearly we are a very fashionable crowd with extensive knowledge of the historical royal court and its colorful inhabitants with an appreciation for architecture and art!
I started to read The Scarlet Pimpernel avec Heather, and I just love it. In fact, it has been the source of my lack of sleep lately! I stay up and say 'just one more chapter' and then of course regret my foolish choice the next morning- but when a book is that good, how can you complain! If anyone else wants to read along I suggest it! We can all discuss SP & the characters within!Ok, off to bed! *tosses book across the room*
While you probably do know this, there about nine other Scarlet Pimpernel books that were reissued about a year back. The Scarlet Pimpernel is still the best, but the rest are just as fun to read!
ReplyDeleteLove the Scarlet Pimpernel. I bought it when I was about twelve and loved it then and still do. It's such a fun story.
