...but where do they put their books?

Pictures and article here



'nother work day. I finished Murder with Puffins yesterday, which brings my total Andrews' read to three. I'm gonna swear off. I know they're supposed to be funny, but I just think they're dumb.

Started The Man Behind the Iron Mask, which is not as dense as I'd feared, despite my complete ignorance of the French nobility in the late 1600-early 1700s. I guess I'll grab a Heyer as back-up, despite having gotten two research (really!) books in the mail. Margaret Hoby's diary is not the sort of thing I can read while expecting the phone to ring any second. And I want to kind of casually mooch through the one about the Regency underworld, which makes it a poor choice as a Receptionist Day book.

A book about the Regency underworld? Do tell!

The Regency Underworld by Donald A. Low. Purports to Reveal the seamy side of Regency life -- crooks, pickpockets, brothel-keepers, Bow Street Runners, and all manner of goings ons.

Looks promising...
