Noveling: Wrote 480 words of chapter 15 of the Jo book during lunch. I still need to continue planning certain aspects of the rest of the novel, but chapter 15 started yelling at me to start writing, so I did. Thanks to 10zlaine (who sent me some crucial NY Times articles from December 1975), I can now torment poor Jo with historical accuracy!

Reading: I'm still reading and loving Ellen Klages's Portable Childhoods and (via dailylit.com) The Portrait of a Lady. Also listening with glee to the audiobook of Georgette Heyer's These Old Shades, which is foptastic.

Weather: We're having an extended spate of June Gloom, to the point that I am wearing knee-high boots and a sweater-coat. Can't say that I mind, but it is a bit odd. Plus it's making my allergies go to town.

Ryan's Hope: Still awesome.

OLTL: Mostly awesome.

GH: So not awesome.

Who's the reader for These Old Shades? (And indeed, Avon and Hugh and Rupert like their clothes. ;-) It's eighteenth-century, of course, so they're allowed...)

Hurrah for noveling, and hugs for June Gloom outside and allergies in.

Cornelius Garrett, who is ultra-flamboyant! :-)

TOS is my vvvvvvvvvvv favorite Heyers! Followed closely by its sequel (the only sequel she did that I can think of), The Devil's Cub.

The best part of TOS is Avon mis-reading a letter from his sister, Fanny. I won't say more in case you haven't gotten there yet.

Do you mean the part where he thinks she says "hovel" instead of "hotel"? Hilarious!

I am really loving TOS.

I have convinced my friend, Patti, that she should friend you and share in our daytime snark. She's a lifelong fan of ABC soaps, but didn't want to follow without an intro...

So, if whitesangria shows up on your list, it's because I dragged her here!

Cool! Another soap fan on LJ!!
