Weekend Links

 Happy autumn, everyone!  Don't forget to turn your clocks back this weekend.  I confess I sometimes have a tough time with the early darkness and cold, but I do love cozy quilts, cashmere shawls, and holiday lights, so it's hygge time!  Also reading and writing time.  I have a deadline this week (book 4 of the 1920s Santa Fe mysteries), and finally got the top of my library's holds for Tom Lake.  What are you reading this week??

In the meantime, some fun tidbits...

How Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group Unbuttoned Britain

It's almost not the weekend any more, I know!  It's been a busy one here, with revisions to finish and dogs to root out from under the blankets so they can take their walks.  (Like their mom, they don't like the cold so much...)  But here are a few reads to keep us busy!
