See 'Oscar Letters' thread. Found less expensive Complete editions.

Thanx for the friends request! ~Hope you're feeling better and it's nothing serious.I .like your snowman avatar! Cute!! Everyone is so Christmasy these days, I should probably get in the spirit too.

Are 'Persephone' books by Nancy Mitford? Or are they a mystery series? Hadn't heard of those before....

YES , I'm really enjoying this site a lot! Very friendly place!

Happy Holidays~Anika

Hello~ Thanks for the friend request! I've been away a few days (Thanksgiving holiday) but I've been meaning to check on your poetry thread again! I'm sure I'll be talking to you around other threads too. Take Care--Anika

Okay. I'll take a shot at it. It may take a while. I'm not overly techno-minded, but we'll see how it goes. Thanks for the instructions!

Bye~ A.

Thanks for the mention in my Victorian mystery thread. You told me about Jackson in a PM, and I hadn't look him up yet, but I was meaning to. From reading a lot of your posts, we seem to have similar tastes. The website sounds great--I'm going there now!!

Bye~A.

Hi! I did check out the 'Dracula' discussion thread you mentioned. Wasn't sure if I could contribute anything not already said, so didn't posted anything there. Overall, I was dissapointed in that book... Hope all is well with you. Did you have any problems from all the storms I've heard about over there? Hope not.

Hello! You have such a COOL profile page! Maybe you can tell me how you did it...I tried figuring it out on my own, but haven't been able to so far. THANX for the friends request, which I've activated (if that's the right word?) I'm new to forums, so still finding my way. BYE!!

Just wanted to say hello! New member and also big on Victorian fiction/mysteries. Love the avatar by the way~Jeremy Brett is my favorite Sherlock!

Have you read 'Kept' by D.J Taylor? Though he's a modern writer, I was amazed how close to real Victorian fiction his wording is. It's one of my favorite books!

~Bye, A.

Hello~

I was reading your question about 'winter/x-mas' books request and noticed you're reading B. Pym "Excellent Women"!! I have been reading ALL her books lately--well, the ones I can find (NOT easy over here!) and can't understand why she is not more popular. Is she still read much over there?? Nobody here that I know has ever heard of her.....I also LOVE Nancy Mitford!!

As for the x-mas book, last year I read "The Irish Christmas Feast "by John B. Keane, but it may not meet your criteria. It's more 'humor' than winter atmosphere, if you know what I mean ,but the stories all center around x-mas.

And, can I just say~ WOW!! Your profile page is AWESOME! Great design!!

Hi Andrea!

I was going to PM you before but I got an e-mail saying I couldn't do that until I had so many posts firsts~ and now I 'qualify'! Anyway, THANX for your welcome greeting and YES I do love Waterhouse art.... Actually, most all the Pre-Raphaelite artists appeal to me.

Is your avatar of a stately-home garden somewhere? Looks like it. I've got several books about Britain and envy those of you who can tour all those wonderful places!

I'm sure I'll be seeing you around! Byeeee!
