If you go to the "Layout" section on blogger, there is a place for the header and you can upload your own photo there. You may need to crop/resize it to fit the space though.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-37354344170043000942013-10-04T15:31:47.440-04:002013-10-04T15:31:47.440-04:00I was just reading about The Innocents this mornin...I was just reading about The Innocents this morning. The Age of Innocents is one of my favorite books and Edith Wharton is one of my favorite authors. I'll be waiting to see what you think about The Innocents and The Age of Desire to see if I should pick them up as well!<br /><br />I love the fall colors on your banner!

I do tend to get books out of order. But being it is based on a true person, I guess this would not read like a series anyway. Thanks for sharing about this book, The Innocents.

But, of course I didn't realize that this book is based on Wharton's story, and now I really must go read it. Anything Edith is fine by me.

But I love the sound of story in The Innocents and I'm excited that both Audrey and Jane enjoyed it. I'm also going to check out The Age of Desire....Thank you, JoAnnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.com
