The dress is really beautiful! I love the detail on the bodice and the color is really pretty too!

Thank you ! This is the first one, and I do like it a lot more now that I have it. I’m glad I chose this one over the other one(:

I know it's not your post but that PETA thing it sounds more like they're thinking of The Humane Society, and not PETA. unless I'm wrong and they're one in the same.

Hmmm. Idk. I think The Humane Society and PETA are different. 

I'm pretty sure the Humane Society is the same thing as the SPCA on the local level but on the broader level it's a little different (SPCA is still all very much about preventing cruelty while the HS is about promoting knowledge).

But yeah, PETA. Gross. Ugh.

ooh a reader just posted about Nora Roberts and it made me remember that I've read the "In The Garden" trilogy by her a couple of times so far - it's my favorite and I've reread Wanderlust by Daniele Steel a couple of times so far as well (also my favorite by her) - they are my "go to" fluff novels when I'm in a reading stump or if I just want "filler" books. :-)

NORA ROBERTS I love her. I haven't actually read her Garden series! I keep meaning to but I never buy them when I see them at my used bookstore. My favorite series by her... oh man, I love so many of them! I think right now it's the Chesapeake Bay saga. Or possibly the Three Sisters Island. Or maybe the Bride Quartet. I can never decide, lol.

I've only read two books by Danielle Steele, and of the two Liked H.R.H. more. It's super cute.

Wanderlust

Orphaned young, Audrey has grown up caring for her eccentric millionaire grandfather and her demanding younger sister, Annabelle, who assume she will always be there for them. Sheltered yet restless, responsible beyond her years yet hungering for experience, Audrey is hopelessly bound until she herself makes the daring decision to leave. As the 1930s unfold, alone, camera in hand, she will shock friends and outrage family as she plunges headlong into the wider world.Crossing the Atlantic aboard the luxurious Queen Mary, Audrey meets James and Violet Hawthorne, who will draw her into a sophisticated circle of artists and expatriates. And it is they who will introduce her to Charles Parker-Scott, in who Audrey will come to recognize a twin soul, a man propelled by relentless curiosity and driven by conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. Together they will spend an exquisite summer at Cap d'Antibes, then board the Orient Express on an adventure that will carry them to a remote outpost in China. But at the farthest reaches of this journey Aubrey must choose again. Japan has attacked China. Charles knows he must return to Europe at once. But Audrey becomes involved with a besieged orphanage and decides to remain in China without Charles, caring for the abandoned children until help arrives.In time Audrey will return to America with a daughter of her own. While she must come home to San Francisco to confront a world irrevocably changed by time, she finds she cannot stay. From prewar Germany to London during the Blitz, from a wrenching reunion with Charles to a war zone in North Africa, again and again she must choose between the dictates of her conscience and the yearnings of her heart. For Audrey Driscoll and the men and women whose lives touch hers, wanderlust is the inescapable element. Born at a time when women were expected to stay close to home and fulfill traditional roles, Audrey is compelled to follow the thread of events that will destroy the complacency of the past and shape the future. From Europe to China, from San Francisco to North Africa, she is irresistibly drawn into a man's world of conflict, discovery, and danger.

My January was very slow reading for me this year - not a good way to start the year but whatever. I read 2 books: The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis (a reread and I'm reading that series out loud to the family), and The Dragon Society by Lawrence Watt-Evans (book 2 on the Obsidian Chronicles trilogy). I started a third book, but got disgusted with one scene so I stopped reading. And if you're into sirens/mermaids you may like a new selkie book/series called Tides by Betsy Cornwell.

That's so cool that you're reading the series out loud to your family!

I hate it when you have a terrible book. It's like, but it might get better but it probably won't, do you power through and hate every second while hoping it gets better, or do you just give up and never know? Two terrible choices, sigh. >.<

I've looked at Tides, and I just... wasn't into the synopsis. It didn't interest me. *shrugs*

bookish asks: 15 & 16

15: If you were to live in any universe from books you've read, which would it be?

Hmmm. Maybe the Written in Red universe, but only if I was an Other, yknow? Or in Harry Potter world, but only if I was a witch and lived during the next gen because I don't do wars ok. I'm very picky.

16: What is the absolute worst book you've ever read?
