A friend said in [...] The following guest post is written by Laurie Viera Rigler, author of the wonderful novel Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict. Laurie will be sending books to the two randomly-chosen winning entries (see the quesion and all the creative and thoughtful answers here). Be sure to visit Laurie’s website and blog, the aptly named “Jane [...] We were away for the long weekend over Labor Day, so I didn’t post my Friday Finds last week; here’s a quick peek at what I Should Be Reading over the next few weeks: Ronna Wineberg sent me a copy of her short story collection Second Language.
