Weekend Links

 

It's only a few days until Christmas, and I am frantically trying to finish wrapping gifts and ordering goodies!  Then I plan to settle in with new (hopefully) books to read, Emily in Paris episodes to watch (I need its absolute nonsense right now), and some hot cocoa.  I hope you have the same coziness.

And here's a few things to read...

On December 19, 1848, Emily Bronte died at Haworth

Goodbye to Sophie Kinsella  (I loved "Shopaholic")

Why are all the lonely girls going to Paris?  (well, who wouldn't!)

 Happy almost August!  (ugh, where did the summer go??)  It's been crazy here, with the day job at its busiest and a book launch coming next week (Death Comes to Santa Fe, third in my 1920s mystery series!!!).  Hope you are staying cool and getting your reading in.  

 Speaking of reading, here's a few fun links I've found lately.  Enjoy!
