Om mig About My Picture: No, that isn't me. It's a painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Here's the link. If you want some idea of what I actually look like, I can be seen in costume here.

This profile houses only books I have on my shelves, hard drive, and/or in storage. Pending the introduction of the much-predicted collections feature, I've created two other profiles for other kinds of books. Books I've read but don't own are on the profile AnnaClaire_Borrowed. The same account also houses the few books I've sold or have passed along through BookMooch; as I list books on my BookMooch inventory, I will move them to the "borrowed" account and delete them here. My wish list, sensibly or otherwise, is at AnnaClaire_WishList.

Needless to say, this will be changing with Collections.

Happy Birthday! May the next twelve months bring you all the yarn you crave and all the fun you can handle!
AnnaClaire - I had read somewhere in Talk that you'd be visiting Seattle, but I got so stressed planning my own trip that it slipped my mind. But just now, I went to the Local page for Elliott Bay Bookstore to add it to my favorites, and saw you'd added it, too. It was WONDERFUL! I was in town for the Special Libraries conference (my first one), and figured out the basics of the bus system so I could get over to the book store, then back to the Convention Center for a session. I wish I could have made a second trip over there, or spent a lot more time - though as it was, I BARELY made it back for my session! I kept checking the time and telling myself, "Just five more minutes, I'll make that bus, no problem." I also shopped a bit in Arundel Books, which was good, but Elliott Bay was just superb.

I hope your trip was good, and I'm glad you got home safely. :-)

Hi,

I originally clicked on your profile because of the movie comments you made (esp. re: Cranford), and had to add your library to my list of interesting ones based on a shared interest in history. About the only books I've cataloged so far are those dealing with colonial America, but I am also very interested in medieval Europe, the Renaissance, the Tudors, etc.

And, of course, I love the painting you have posted. Gorgeous.

I was in the same boat with you about Marie Antoinette. I majored in Art History and learned most of what I know about the French Revolution there, but it didn't include as much about her as you might think. I really enjoy this book though. I saw that you also like Alison Weir. I love her Tudor bios. I devoured Six Wives of Henry VIII and Children of Henry VIII. I liked her Elizabeth biography too but towards the end I felt sad for her in the way that you can for old people who've lost most of their loved ones and are sort of lingering, waiting for the inevitable. Well, have a good day. -Tanya
What did you think of "Saxons, Vikings and Celts"? It has a decent rating, but not very good (or very many) reviews, but it sounds like something in which I'd be interested.
Are you really looking for a spinning wheel? I know someone who, last I heard, had a one she was interested in selling. I know nothing about spinning wheels myself, so I can't tell you more than that, but if you'd like, I'll ask her about it.
AnnaClaire: Did that charming animal share some of its wool with you for a special knitting project?

Hi
Comment is about a photo you took. I saw it in one of the group discussion threads about what wallpaper you have on your computer. It was of beautiful autum trees and a river or lake. I ask becaue how weird is this. My brother in law who lives in NY is a photographer and he send me a picture of what looks like the same spot. Its been my blackberry wallpaper since November. In fact he took it Thanksgiving day. Where is that picture taken? Could it be the same place? I don't know where he took his, I've just sent him an email asking him. Its almost the same exact picture except his doesn't have the building in it.
Wow...Let me know plz
Hi - Thanks for adding my catalog to your interesting libraries list. Always fun to find someone who overlaps the really weird parts of my library. I suppose we will be first in line if Early Reviewers ever gets any knitting or quilting books!
Hi,

Responding to your question about 26 Gorgeous Hikes on the Western Cote d'Azur and Women Astronomers pointing to the same publisher on the LT site. Each title has its own separate publisher (AzurAlive Press and Stone Pine Press, respectively) but they share a common book distributor (Beagle Bay). That's one mystery solved :).

Hope you enjoy your virtual hiking tour through southern France!

-Florence C., author of 26 Gorgeous Hikes
Thanks for recommending Ravelry! I'm having a lovely time there!
You have an interesting list of books read. What did you think of the book on the circus fire? My mother was a Red Cross worker at that disaster and she's never forgotten what she saw there. One side effect, I've never been to a circus!
Thanks for that post in Green Dragon pointing to TheSession.org! I will be investigating that! -=Cadlib=-
I'm not dressed up as anyone specific. In fact, the era is a bit broad. Fashions did change regularly enough among the upper classes (and the somewhat more modest classes with a whim to dress rich). But that's a fairly basic kirtle pattern, apparently, and could work for anything from the 12th century through about the 15th (I'm told).
so, what character were you in that haloween costume?

we had a gang of high school kids come to the house, all dressed up as, well,
high school kids.

i gave them all my old cliff notes, they looked at them like

"we can do better than this online."
AnnaClaire--I read your thoughts on the [Circus Fire] and since I work in Hartford where it took place, I had to go out and buy it at Borders. At a quick glance it looks like a fascinating book. Can't wait to start it, but have to do my ER book first, [Every Last Cuckoo].
Sorry to have confused you. Earlier entries on Green Dragon explain my situation and I thought I might get help if anyone lives nearby. Esta1923
I like your "Last 10 Books" and "Recent Acquisitions" profile lists. I may steal that...if I can really keep it updated. Maybe a "Current 10 Books"...
I actually posted a link in the "about me" section, pointing to the painting's page at the Met's site. But here's the info, anyway. (And the link again, too.) The page gives the credit as follows:

Samuel F. B. Morse (1791–1872)
Susan Walker Morse (The Muse), ca. 1836–37
Oil on canvas; 73 3/4 x 57 5/8 in. (187.3 x 147.4 cm)
Bequest of Herbert L. Pratt, 1945 (45.62.1)
Hi, AnnaClaire. Thanks for adding me to your IL list. It looks like we share an interest in UK history and historical novels. I'll be adding you to my list as well.

BTW, lovely painting on your profile. Who is it by, and who is the subject?
Flattered to be added to your IL list. I hope you don't mind if I reciprocate as your history books are very interesting. Nice to make contact.

Cheers,

Karen
Hi Anna,

I see you added common knowledge about some characters I'm interested too (Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard III). Have you ever read any books by Sharon Kay Penman? Judging from your library I think you will enjoy her novels as well. My favorite is 'Here be dragons'.

Yvette
Hi Anna,
Thank you for adding my library to your list of favourites. I am interested in your list of ten books recently read. I would like to add your library as well and look at your books on history.
Cyrel
Hi Anna. Just to say I like your profile page - I'm getting a link to my flickr account too - and like your history and auto/biographies. Who would be that wonderful woman writer, your icon?
I saw from one of your messages that you are reading Triangle. I read it last month, after being disappointed with the Katharine Weber novel of the same name. I thought the Drehle book a marvelous piece of social history.

I am amazed that the Asch Building still stands and is part of the NYU campus. I've walked past it hundreds of times in graduate school and had no idea what had taken place there.
