A few vocab builders are fun. Too many, not so much.<br /><br />Thanks for the review and for being in the challenge!

I must check our tiny library for this book. You have reviewed it nicely and whetted my reading appetite.Glennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660567773516760768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839575896417104888.post-79626116188274663562010-03-19T09:34:28.271-07:002010-03-19T09:34:28.271-07:00hip - Ha, ha!

Sometimes, we don't want them to end.<br /><br />Mimi - You're right and we just don't always see how rigid society can be. We might not draw the lines as boldly but it is still there. <br /><br />Fortunately, as I keep reading, I find that this is, partly, a story about those lines being challenged. Should be a good story.Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839575896417104888.post-87870389525352462762010-03-18T16:53:46.955-07:002010-03-18T16:53:46.955-07:00Glad you're enjoying it, or at least finding i...Glad you're enjoying it, or at least finding it interesting.<br />Unfortunately, that class system still exists in some countries, and it's a pity, because it limits everyone, not just poor people. I was just talking this morning with a friend about this!

Long gowns with petticoats, taking a case of the vapours on the fainting couch, visiting at tea and leaving calling cards, it all seemed so romantic to me. But that was for the rich class, and the more I learn about those times, the more I'm so glad I am here TODAY!!Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3839575896417104888.post-67641481634812741622010-03-18T11:22:11.602-07:002010-03-18T11:22:11.602-07:00umm....1868?
