Really, 2 days beside the hearth and I smelled like a camp fire and had soot in my ears & nose (and really, much worse than that!) Besides, I worked so hard I was WAY too tired to be meeting in a dark stairwell. It's messed with my suspension of disbelief in regard to historical romance....<br /><br />Karley-You know my feeling on Cooper Road!!!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725324685109415066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-35220522850838593862009-10-04T16:11:45.525-04:002009-10-04T16:11:45.525-04:00Great post.

I have books about baseball, decorating, and autobiographies on my shelf of library books, with magazines on both fashion and vegetarian cooking thrown into the mix.<br /><br />By the way, why didn't you post a pic of our Cooper Road library?

I could live there.<br /><br />Anyway, re: Regency Romances. I love historical romances, and kind of put out of my mind the smells and dirt because it would have been perfectly normal to them I'm guessing...and years from now someone is going to look back upon us and be like 'filthy barbarians!'<br /><br />But the Regency period is all the rage. Still. It's not my favorite period to read about but the rules are so well established that authors can now write in it without getting too much wrong. It's a comfort zone now. And a little bit of a fetish.<br /><br />I think they use Viscounts b/c it's hard to believe that there were so many Dukes in the peerage, but there were a bunch of Viscounts, so why not? :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729283374222314144noreply@blogger.com
