the friends who know you best

I got an e-mail - subject line "Something else for your reading list..." and this picture.

Reasons I love this.

1. This is from one of my favorite people, who knows me all too well.

2. I love illicit photos taken in book stores.

3. I have gained the Austen addict reputation without even trying.

4. I had just finished the book a few days earlier (reading the advanced reader's copy)

5. Having someone be my personal librarian and suggest things is a real treat.

At home I am struggling to create a 60 second book review video for this book. So far, it involves a lot of vodka, a nice soft bed, and a stack of Austen novels. Once I set the scene, I'll see if I can make a workable video.
