fiercebunnyChrist on a cracker, I am so frigging tired. Yet absolutely nothing is going, as the never-ending work week trudges on ad infinitum :P
Have a Victoria-inspired picture though. The new issue came in the mail and it's all blue and white, so for that reason I randomly decided to take this picture of the inside of my curio cabinet.
Books I read in March:
The Merry Monarch's Wife by Jean Plaidy. A fictional novel about Catherine of Braganza who married Charles II of England. Or what Restoration England was like when you're not the one out whoring and wenching.
I reread Emma and Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. I've decided I really like Henry Tilney. Netflix is supposed to send me the new adaptation of NA tomorrow, it's the only novel I haven't seen a film of yet.
The Perfect Royal Mistress by Diane Haeger. A fictional novel about the life of Nell Gwynne, so we're back to Restoration whoring again. Actually, Nell was pretty faithful to Charles (can't say the same likewise) and is a very funny and entertaining person to read about. My only complaint about the book is that Haeger wrote the dialogue for Louise Keroualle, the French courtesan, all in dialect, so it reads like the French Taunter from Monty Python, only with more tears and whinging.
Going to try and get some sleep now if the wind doesn't blow the house away.

(This is oxymoron from SF, mind if I friend?)
