I’m so excited to bring you this guest post from Caroline James, author of The French Cookery School. I read the novel, and it’s a delightful story full of food, France, friendship, and second-chance romance.
I recently had the chance to read the digital ARC of Dean Butler’s forthcoming book, Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond. As someone who grew up watching the series (it was appointment viewing for our family) and eventually married a real Prairie Man of my own, I was excited to read this book. […]

But since this book, this story, is a memoir, I won’t talk more about the events, but rather the way author Babette Fraser Hale has chosen to present them, which she has done beautifully.
Overall, Invitation to Italy is a satisfying summer read, with great characters and a fabulous setting. Goes well with: grilled calamari and prosecco.
It is funny how certain things just ‘belong’ to the people in our lives, and the way seeing something, or hearing a particular set of words sets off a whole separate train of thought. I think that’s the best sort of way to behold someone, to remember them. It’s far more genuine than saying “She was great. I loved her,” or something of equal context.
My grandmother will live on in oilcloth tablecloths and in Wandering Jews in hanging baskets and those shapeless sort of dresses that come in the most unattractive patterns ever created but somehow worked out with clip-on button-shaped earrings…and in that face powder that comes in a round box and has a perfume element. Yikes. I’m babbling. Sorry.
I love velvet… and violets… and the Vagina monologues… and… (so on, and so forth!) :D
Happy TT!
A Very Vunderful list, Miss Meliss. I especially like 4, 8, 11, 12. Happy T13!!
There’s something so romantic about a verandah, isn’t there? And velvet clothes, ahhh, the mere thought is decadently delicious (as long as you can keep the Seinfeld references at bay).
Cool list – & informative…there were a few that I didn’t know about on here.
Have a great Thursday! :)
Vampires in Velvet on the Verandah taking in the Violet drenched air on a Voodoo Night in New Orleans… V is apparently a great letter when you stop to think about it. *grin*
Happy Thursday

Great list I have always wanted to try Venison and my we have a vice in common mines are books & tea Happy TT
I loved the Vagina Monologues!
I was in the Stage Production of Vagina Monologues last year at our local theatre. It was enlightening
Maribeth
The Vagina monologues was showing in a local theater, I remember that now that you mentioned this.
I love velvet!! I bought a navy blue velvet blazer in college, I loved it , loved getting dressed up wearing it.
For some reason I think venison stew has to cook for hours…! I have never tried venison.
Happy thirteening!
Very cool. *points and laughs at the remaining letters*
Speaking of perfumes, have you got your latest BPAL order yet? I organized mine last night…phew, took awhile. Realized I’m missing some, too! Hmmm…
#13 has me thinking of Rosemary Clooney. Happy TT.

Wonderful list. My grandmother used to talk to her violets, too. She had so many that my uncle used to joke that one day he’d call the house and one of the plants would answer and say, “We put her out – there wasn’t enough room!”
Happy TT!
Very Vonderful!!
Women certainly do seem to like vampires. I’d write more but the sun is coming up and I have to go to bed.
I love velvet, violets, and vespers too. Great list. I haven’t stopped by in some time, so I’m taking this opportunity to say I LOVE the new look. Very cheerful and easy to read and navigate.
Happy TT – oh and good luck with redecorating with Fuzzy away!
Hey..a cool list..thanks for sharing..
I love the letter V. One of my favorite expressions is “Don’t make me get voodoo on your ass.” I am a Louisiana girl to the core.
