Er...I covered a brim?

In my defense, I've been re-reading The Count of Monte Cristo nights this week (I like to read a bit before bed), and last night I got to the very exciting part, stayed up far too late, and just HAD to finish the whole thing this afternoon instead of being dedicated and sewing things like I ought. Besides it being fun to see all the horrible people get exactly what they deserve (and then some), I love any historical novel that gives a nod to what its characters are wearing, and is also kind enough to tell me the precise date, so I can enjoy mentally costuming everyone! (I didn't remember the clothing descriptions from last time I read it...I think I know a good deal more about the 1830s now, which helped!)

Totally! I know the books are long but they are so descriptive and juicy! It's like you can see every room and every dress and every character.
I think I'll go start Iron Mask right now!

I may or may not have started reading Musketeers due to the comments on this post... ;)

I may or may not accept responsibility. ;-)
