I'm pleased though that the HF prize is named for Walter Scott, who may have invented historical fiction with the publication of Waverley in 1814. I always remember that Scott came to Waverley by listening to the stories of "many of the old warriors of 1745, who were, like most veterans, easily induced to fight their battles over again for the benefit of a willing listener".

W..."I'm exhausted with marking time." What a great phrase!!!! And I have had such a work situation so I hope everything settles down, for the better, soon.<br /><br />Mr. Books stashing chocolate eggs around the house!!! I love that. Since all the yummy Cadbury Easter stuff has been on the shelves at Walmart since Jan 1, I'm so used to seeing them that I no longer SEE them. They'll be gone soon so I had better stock up this week.<br /><br />Fingers crossed that you can avoid all the GOT spoilers. I'm looking forward to watching tomorrow!<br /><br />Your weekend sounds good. Enjoy! Jinjer-The Intrepid Angelenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892279772221757519noreply@blogger.com
