Enjoy your vacation travels, Debbie!
Debbie, I'm going for that Fitzwilliam Darcy Elopes next. That sounds cute. I have Heartstone, but I'm not in a fantasy mood right now. I have a whole group lined up. I'll probably do a fantasy marathon. I thought that sounded like fun.

Good progress and, Yes, if you read it twice it counts as two books. I am rereading all the books I won from The Darcy Monologue blog tour and counting each as another book read!
Sheila, you're so close. We're waiting with a cup of tea for you. How do you take it? :)
With a packet of Truvia only. Thank you very much.
Of course....a little time travel to bring the necessary supplies into the library won't hurt...ask Claire Fraser.
WOW! Sheila, I'm holding my breath for you. I've got the bubbly ready to pop the cork... go for it. I'm not far behind you, so save me a seat near the window.
After we refresh ourselves from the journey we can settle in for a long evening's discussion and trade ideas on good books.
199.) The Exile: Kitty Bennet and the Belle Epoque 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars Adieu, Mr. Bennet's bookroom
So long,farewell,Aif Wiedersehen,Adieu......Mr D's grand library awaits,Sheila!! 🎉🍷🍰
Congratulations!!! Mary, how in the world do you put graphics in your comments? I'll try it now, and I'm sure it will be unsuccessful again.
Never mind. It didn't work for before. 😅
Marlene,Teresa-sometimes they work,other times they appear as question marks!!
OK - one more try with real faces.....😙☺️😋😎😍😅😄🤣😂😁😉
How did you do that Marlene? I can't see anywhere on the laptop that inserts these blasted things!!!
Teresa,don't know how to insert them on laptop,I've only got my phone.
Thank you all and if you can share how to do graphics...I can do them on my phone but here???
To be clear -- I don't know how to do it on a laptop!!
I don't know how to do them on the computer either.
I even tried symbols [windings] on a word document and did a copy and paste... didn't work. OH well.
😢My husband just showed me how to make the above character on my laptop in Chrome. It's ridiculously complicated, and it's complicated in Windows too. I had to press maybe ten keys to make it appear, and look up the code for this specific emoji. Ugh! No way!
C'est la vie! I will just have to enjoy those created by others. : )

Thank you all. I am in such good company. What was it that Elliot said about good company in Persuasion!...something about well-read, intelligent...well, I had to get it exact...no, he said that is the best!“My idea of good company...is the company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.'
