  A Girl Walks Into a Bookstore... — Authority: 124
  Silk is a short novel—so short that I finished reading it within the space of an hour two. It’s the story of Herve Joncour, a French merchant of silkworm eggs, who travels to Japan. While there, his attention is caught by a young woman, with whom he has an affair. As I’ve said, this is a pretty short ...

• My Victorian Handkerchief Holder and What I Forgot I Had in It

  
  Wanderlust & Pixie Dust — Authority: 112
  I think I found this beautiful Victorian hanky holder in Memphis.  I am no longer sure.  I only knew that when I saw it I had to have it, faults and all.  I imagine that a young girl created it long ago embellishing it by dim light. Its quite large, measuring about 12 x 12 inches and is in remarkably good ...

• Gadflies, spies, cyphers

  
  JSBlog — Authority: 118
  Clare and I are fans of Shostakovich, a particular favourite being his Gadfly Suite, from which the Romance is embedded above. Beyond knowing it to be a film score, wed never considered investigating more deeply; but doing so reveals an amazing nexus of cultural connections around one person. As the Boosey and Hawkes ...

  AudSLife — Authority: 116
  We are moving from Autumn to Winter in my SL homes. Victoriana is still enjoying the end of summer days as the softness of Autumn falls onto the sun warmed lawns. Caledon has had a cold wind blow over bringing in early snows and a yearning for the quiet of winter spent next to the fire in the arms of some ...

  JSBlog — Authority: 118
  Click to enlarge: the Savages cottage, from S Baring-Goulds An Old English Home and Its Dependencies . Note the naked figure outside; one of many slurs about the "savages".

• free book! Soulless by Gail Carriger

  
  Gracetopia — Authority: 112
  So sometimes I do this thing where I don’t pay attention and accidentally buy two of the same book from amazon. Like, I click it twice or something. And if I were paying attention when I hit “Submit Order” I would notice the 2 next to the book, but yeah, I don’t. So anyway, now I have two copies of Gail ...
