Almost got it done about a year and a half ago, then stupidly left A Distant Mirror in a hotel room.

I had my family do the quiz too. My mom is "The Confessions of St. Augustine" and it SO fits who she is. Of course, my husband is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" ... what does THAT tell you?!Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-83421970277089507572008-05-28T23:44:00.000-04:002008-05-28T23:44:00.000-04:00Visiting from NCLM: mine came out as Lolita! What...Visiting from NCLM: mine came out as Lolita! What! No that one is not me ... but I enjoyed taking the quiz.<BR/><BR/>Have you read anything by Georgette Heyer? She wrote some amazing historical romance - no sex scenes but fantastic language, character, plots - etc - it is a whole other world. I find people either love her (like I do) or completely miss the humour in it. She writes with pretty sophisticated language and turns of phrase, so some find it more difficult to read. But honestly she is an amazing writer. I hope you will check her out if you haven't already. Some of my favourites are "Venetia" and "The Grand Sophy"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-52164731179539367462008-05-27T23:04:00.000-04:002008-05-27T23:04:00.000-04:00Yet another NaComLeavMo visitor (and always happy ...Yet another NaComLeavMo visitor (and always happy to find a fellow fantasy book lover).

I truly have no feelings one way or another about that. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, cool quiz and post!momofonefornowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024643244161544858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-26948053426924843292008-05-27T10:52:00.000-04:002008-05-27T10:52:00.000-04:00Visiting from NCLM:I read a lot, but I can't belie...Visiting from NCLM:<BR/><BR/>I read a lot, but I can't believe I haven't read a single book you listed.
