    			  Been reading romances lately.  Was stuck for a while in the Victorian England theme but think I'll move to something else now.  These are entertaining but not inspiring.

    			  Very Excited to read this book.  It looked great but in the end it hasn't kept my attention.  I need characters to love to be drawn in by and to care about.  I guess that means I am not much of a scholar (who knew! Ha Ha!)  I doubt I'll ever really finish it.  Plus I feel that it focuses on the wrong things.  Guess I should write my own book about Cairo and focus on what I think should be focused on.

  		<br/><br/>				
  		Randomly grabbed this book last time I was in Virgin Books.  I liked the look of the cover.  Ended up really liking the book.  Better than Confessions of a Jane Austin Addict and &quot;the Pink Carnation&quot; series.  I decided to read lots of Julia Quinn.  Some are more like Harlequin Romances then anything but over all most of them are really fun.
