So much to read here this week. Great work. Thanks.
March 27th, 2012 at 12:47 pm
Thanks, lovely. I needed to hear that today. It’s been one of THOSE.
March 27th, 2012 at 12:50 pm
:)

I need to check out your birds – I will now!
March 27th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
I am loving all the links you took time to provide. If I can’t read them all today thank goodness there is the bookmark option! :)
March 27th, 2012 at 2:52 pm
Haha Aw, thank you! Hope you enjoy over the next few days!

Hi Cassie, I’m new to your blog but just love it, so much to read and really enjoy your book reviews. Thanks!
March 27th, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Thank you for the kind words and I hope you enjoy all of the links and bookishness :)

That letter from John Steinbeck is freaking Amazing! I want that book :)
and that letter from Cassie is pretty amazing too!

I know! I wish I could write letters like Zelda Fitzgerald, she’s my letter idol. However, Claire is sneaking up to fill that spot. :) love letter writing.
March 28th, 2012 at 1:16 am
Ok, I have to check out Zelda now :)
March 28th, 2012 at 8:52 pm
Read her and F. Scott’s letters – fabulous.
March 29th, 2012 at 2:30 am
The book of letters will be amazing, often it’s a collection of one or two correspondents, but a collection of some of the best in small bites sounds perfect. I have Gustave Flaubert’s and George Sand’s letters by my bedside, have been on and off reading them for a long time after I saw a film about her. Gutsy woman; preparing to read ‘Salammbo’ also, the book that brought the two of them together.
March 29th, 2012 at 7:51 pm
I’ll have to get their letters then. I love reading letters from writers, or by writers and I’m up for any gutsy woman read. You’ll have to review Salammbo and let me know how you like it. Also, I’ve been at the beach all week and will reply to your e-mail soon. PLUS, got new stationary for our letters – yes!
March 27th, 2012 at 7:42 pm
I feel pretty good that I’ve read 27 of the 100 best
March 28th, 2012 at 8:52 pm
You’re a winner, that’s my feeling. : )
March 29th, 2012 at 11:48 am
Gives me even more to add to my lengthy to-read list….
March 29th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Haha, good. Always good.
March 27th, 2012 at 7:45 pm
Awesome links! I couldn’t decide which ones to read first.
March 28th, 2012 at 8:53 pm
Thanks girl. I couldn’t either. I found so many this week and I was pumped to stew on all of it.
March 28th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
You have such great information here! :) Thanks for sharing!
March 28th, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Can I just say, your blog is full of goodies that I never would have found out about otherwise. I particularly enjoy the link to the Tournament of Villains (Go Team Voldemort!…. is it bad that I say that?). Thanks for all the time and care you put into this blog that we so enjoy.
March 28th, 2012 at 8:48 pm
Haha, I’ve been Team V from the beginning so I can’t blame you :) And thank you, thank you.
