What an impressive combination of photos and reading.<br /><br />It would take a woman with great self-confidence to wear that remarkable hat.<br /><br />I was surprised this fall at The Bay store, part of a Canadian department store chain, in Regina. While Sharon was looking for clothes I saw several hats, not as dramatic as in the photo, but still far from ordinary. I had not seen women's hats in stores for a long time.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-84720514245856054502014-01-04T00:04:37.231+00:002014-01-04T00:04:37.231+00:00Thanks so much for the kind words Tracy, and glad ...Thanks so much for the kind words Tracy, and glad you enjoyed the post.

Many of these are books and authors you have introduced me to, and I appreciate that. You have done much better than I have at reading a good proportion of women authors. I have not calculated the stats, but one month I made the effort to stick with just women authors and failed. And I love your definition of Planet Nowhere. I will have to check out some that I missed earlier.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-8396429589506521552014-01-03T13:07:24.542+00:002014-01-03T13:07:24.542+00:00I love my re-reads, I enjoy them hugely, and they ...I love my re-reads, I enjoy them hugely, and they are the true comfort reads aren't they?

I've done some of that myself this year, and I'm very glad that I did.
