I like your new picture.<br /><br />Paperback Reader - At least you got to one of the best stories! <br /><br />The Literary Stew - I saw the Victorian Ghost stories on amazon, and would love a collection devoted to that era! Thanks so much for visiting and becoming a follower.<br /><br />DS - Definite progression, but I love the Victorians!<br /><br />Fleurfisher - I need to look into Virago's other collections. I imagine they would have a Christmas book, too?<br /><br />Book Psmith - Those two collections look good. Hope to get to B&N soon to see what they have...and get one of the Starbucks holiday-flavored lattes!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-65345601259906954952009-11-03T03:46:15.240-05:002009-11-03T03:46:15.240-05:00I'm not bored at all!
