Jane Austen Mysteries by Stephanie Barron	Jane Austen's life was cut short too young. Fortunately, an authoress has "found a trunk full of letters and diaries". I am enjoying "The Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor" and "The Prisoner of the Woolhouse"

Jake and the Kid	by W.O. Mitchell, winner of the Stephen Leacock Award, a prairie gem. It was also a TV series...

Emma	I have the Quality Paperback Book Club edition with the antique garments as part of the cover design. Lovely!

The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings	The BEAUTIFUL Folio Edition with wonderful B&W illustrations and gorgeous binding. "In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit."

The Impressionists in Context	"The great works and the world that inspired them"

Lines of Succession	"Geneology Tables and Heraldry" I am decended from some fairly famous people, but what is really important is "Have I have accomplished something worthwhile today?"

The Springboard in the Pond	"An Intimate History of the Swimming Pool" Pools are kinda sexy, ya know!

The New York Times Sunday Crossword Puzzles	"I love a Challenge!" If I can solve the entire NY Times crossword, it's a very good day.

How the Irish Saved Civilization	"Lively history!" Not only did they save Western civilization, but much of their own complex culture, too.
