How to Court Your Wife is out on October 23!!! I'm so excited to see this final installment of "The Matchmakers of Bath" in the world. (Though the heroine is a modiste, and not one of the matchmakers! It was so much fun researching the fashion of the era...) In the meantime, the nights are getting longer and chillier here, time to snuggle in and read (or watch British murder mysteries). Both are favorites at this time of year...
What I'm watching: the new "Lynley" series (Leo Suter, yum)
What I'm reading: Days of Light by Megan Hunter (beautifully written, I am reading slowly to absorb every paragraph!), and Stephen Greenblatt's Dark Renaissance, his new bio of Christopher Marlowe
And your fun links for the week:
The most beautiful haunted houses in the world
An article about Lapdog Rescue (we got our two little rescues, Pippa and Kate, from them! They do wonderful work)
On October 17, 1793, Marie Antoinette was executed
The British Museum's appeal to save the "Tudor heart" pendant
October 14 was Ada Lovelace Day
Some of the most stunning period costumes seen on film
The French have...croissant-scented stamps! Brilliant!
