http://bookmole.blogspot.com/2010/05/review-cotillion-by-georgette-heyer.html
But what do the words mean? Asked the wondering Mole. - The Wind in the Willows. Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Review: Cotillion by Georgette Heyer. Historical Fiction, Regency Romance. The short of it:. A very light and humorous regency romance by Georgette Heyer, with very well-drawn characters and an interesting plot.

http://thepulitzerblog.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Two friends. Eighty four books. One journey. Saturday, January 29, 2011. Entry 29: "The Able McLaughlins" by Margaret Wilson (1924). After a somewhat disappointing foray into the 1990's, I decided I should go back in time and pick up another, what I thought was, pioneer novel. I had so much fun reading The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters. I don't think so. Not in the state of desperation I was in to finally get my hands on it.

The Pulitzer Blog: September 2010

Two friends. Eighty four books. One journey. Thursday, September 30, 2010. Entry 15: "House Made of Dawn" by N. Scott Momaday (1969). The same was true for Native Americans this time period. Momaday (being a Kiowa Indian himself and having grown up on a reservation) gives us an intimate account of things that he had probably seen, of people he had probably known, of situations and struggles he had probably encountered on a daily basis. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Of course, the novel that I chose to r...

Monday, April 30, 2012. The Gods of Gotham. By Lyndsay Faye — 432 pgs. In this arresting work of historical fiction, Lyndsay Faye gives her readers a vibrant and visceral portrait of 19th century New York imbued with a cast of characters that are as unforgettable as they are complex. I initially became interested in this book when Jen from Devourer of Books. Hosted it as one of her monthly BOOK CLUB. Selections.
