Did I say that out loud?

Richard Dominguez thank you for the friend


Michelle Griep Hey, it's my honor indeed to have you as a friend! Looking forward to peeking at what you're reading, my dear!

Kara thanks for adding me to your friend list, Michelle, blessings !!


message 4: by Lisa

Lisa Greetings! I feel like deja vu since I had just started to get ready for our interview. It's good to see you here. Did you read all the Mary Stewart books? I didn't think I was going to start plugging in everything I read, but every once in a while, I recall someone I loved and then have to sort through them. Am I about the only other person who has an actual copy of hte Areopagitica on her living room book shelf? We had to study it in college.

Lisa

Sarah I have so many favorites! My constant favorite is Jane Austen. I haven't read any Georgette Heyer books, and i've been wanting to! which of hers would you recommend?


Michelle Griep Wow, thanks so much, Jane! That's great. I really appreciate it!
