I did a lot of reading
this past weekend
partially
as a defense
against
the non stop football
Toonman
watches
yet
it was a lovely escape into fantasy
into the past
when I was a kid
The Aunt
my dad's sister
who I was close to
was a great reader
one of her guilty pleasures
was
Georgette Heyer novels
do you know Georgette Heyer?
Click
to read about her
she wrote romance novels
set in the Regency era
in London
a time of manners
the time of Jane Austin
they were
easy
escapist
reading
The Aunt
loved those books
so much
when she passed
her daughter-in-law
put
one of The Aunt's favorite Heyer novels into The Aunt's casket
we also did something
others
will find insane
we poured a cup of hot black coffee
over the closed casket
The Aunt
loved
her
coffee hot and black
it made all of us smile
I didnt read any Heyer this past weekend
I read
a series 3 books
by Anna Godbersen
click here
they were a little more risqué
than Heyer's books
not quite Shades of Grey
but
for sure
less innocent
then
the originals
anyway
they were a quick fun read
if you want to escape
into
New York in 1899
this is your ticket!
