And the winner is...Kerry!
Please send me your mailing address and a brand new copy of Madam, Will You Talk? will be wending its way to your door. I wanted to thank all the commenters for sharing your lovely stories. It was a treat reading them.
Let's just lay our cards on the table, shall we, and agree that, on the whole, 2016 was an abysmal year.
And I'd just like to personally invite it not to let the door hit it on the way out.
This is me being as charitable as I can possibly be at this point.
That said, I want to send a glorious shout out to the wonderful books that have come out this past year, and to all the authors (and readers) who have not given in to the anxiety, depression, anger, and fear that I know so many of us have felt throughout the past twelve months (or more). It is the last day of the year, and I have poured all of my gratitude (and hope for a better one to come) into my annual list of my favorite reads of the year. Just 17 this year. Fewer than the past few years, which indicates a healthy dose of necessary rereading in this year that has been what it was, as well as the fact that I just didn't get to as many new releases.
(in the order in which I read them)

Big congrats, Kerry!
ReplyDeleteAnd now, you evil Angie, I'm off to search for Mary Stewart's books...
(again, thank you)
Whee! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm sorry to ask a dumb question, but where can I find your email address to contact you with my address?
I love this one, but it always makes me sad that I cannot wear crisp linen frocks, like the heroine. Mine become wrinkled and wilted almost at once...sigh.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Kerry!!! =)
ReplyDelete*checking my library's online catalog for Madam, Will You Talk?* ;)
Kerry: under her picture on the right, under the heading "Authors/Publishers" there's a contact me link.
ReplyDeleteThanks Azteclady. I found it and have emailed.
ReplyDeleteMy copy of the book arrived today. It looks lovely and very tempting. I am going to have some waiting time at my son's school this morning, so I shall tuck this in my handbag and read while I wait. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteKerry, really? I'm so glad! That was faster than I feared it would be. You are very welcome and I hope you enjoy it.
