As the recipient of the gifts discovers in the book Talpianna mentioned (at least I think it's the same one that I've read), that sort of gift may be very rich, but it would also be very, very inconvenient.Laura Vivancohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906661869372622821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30203557.post-64189587904263292842007-12-28T21:47:00.000+00:002007-12-28T21:47:00.000+00:00Laura: I have a charming little book consisting o...<B>Laura:</B> I have a charming little book consisting of the lady's thank-you notes to her true love--they get progressively less grateful, until the last one, which is written by her lawyers.

I'd love to give credit where it's due.<BR/><BR/>Laura, I'm home from Los Angeles and busily reading "Virgin and / or Barbarian King and / or Slave," which I find I quite enjoy. Perhaps I should spend more time with category romance; it looks like SB Sarah plans to in the coming month. We could make it a trend!<BR/><BR/>A happy new year to all of us, and may all our heures be tres, tres riches--or at least the ones we spend reading!E. M.
