I've read a handful of the authors in that one and liked their stuff so this looks like a steal to me. Thanks, Jeanne!

Debbie (dmbrown) | 428 comments Just finished a fantastic book and had to share it here:
The Unravelling

It's probably more for those at least 40 years old, since it basically is about life choices and the road not taken. Here's the link to my review:

Abigail Bok (regency_reader) It’s out of print but worth digging up a used copy if you have an interest in the subject: The Regency Underworld by Donald A. Low.

I'll have to add it to my wish list for some of the used bookstores I frequent. Thanks, Abigail!


message 116: by Abigail (last edited Sep 22, 2020 01:31PM) (new)

Abigail Bok (regency_reader) I got it from the Amazon Marketplace. Amazon itself lists it, but without a ship date; I placed an order but canceled it after several weeks of waiting and placed the Marketplace order instead.

Okay, good to know.


message 118: by Elin (new)

Elin Eriksen (vaarin) | 236 comments Amazon had one left in stock of the Regency Underworld but it could not be sent Norway.
(I think it is funny though that they write: Cannot be sent to your location, please select another location. Oh yes, I would like to move to the US to purchase your book...)

Haha, or you're supposed to have a network of addresses around the world.

Hmmm...I like that idea! Virtual post office boxes in Chawton, Wales, The Highlands, Box Hill, York....


message 122: by Abigail (new)

Abigail Bok (regency_reader) Hah, computers are very stupid, aren’t they? A classic example! Change location, indeed!

Elin, I had to buy a used copy.

Glad I could help! Enjoy

I was just about to share this link as well. I got one of the Free books so far and still need to look into some of the others.

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe!

Marlene | 251 comments There's not too many people I can share this with right now, because this was recorded in advance for church this coming Sunday. If you're interested, here's a link to a video of me playing an arrangement of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." Hopefully the link works fine.

J. W. Garrett (jeannewallacegarrett) | 447 comments Marlene, that was delightful. Loved the music choice, loved the dress [you looked fabulous] and, as Shelley said, it put me in the Christmas Spirit. Blessings my dear. I hope you have a lot of 'likes' or hits and many sharing with others. Thanks to Dan for posting. Be safe and healthy, guys.

Loved your performance, Marlene! One of my favorite carols, too. :) Thank you for sharing with us.


message 143: by Marlene (new)

Marlene | 251 comments Thanks! I've been practicing it since July, along with Linus and Lucy. I'm moving on to other Christmas music now, and it's such a great feeling. Thank you very much for watching. Jeanne, I realized that since I wear dresses or pants/blouses for church - even though most people at my church are VERY casual - I should do it for the video as well. I'm so glad it's DONE. My only concern is that I was once told - years ago - to keep it under five minutes, and this piece went over. But I'm not TOO worried about it. Hugs for you all!

It was lovely to see this, thanks for sharing!

Kirk (goodreadscomkirkc) | 586 comments Thanks for posting!!! So glad to hear a full version
as opposed to my lame one hand very very slow effort.


message 146: by Marlene (new)

Marlene | 251 comments You're welcome, both of you. Kurt, I think it's fantastic that you play! The piano is just a wonderful instrument. I think it would be great if everyone learned a little. I feel the same about ASL. It's such a neat language, and anyone may be in a position to use it at some point in their life. Just today, I was very thankful that the lady at the drive through at Walgreens was able to sign SOME things to me rather than having to write almost everything out. Those masks!!!!!!!!!

But then - maybe everyone with an interest/passion of some kind might feel the same........ Do you people think everyone should read Austen? :-D
