There is always much to learn, and perhaps it's knowing that I don't have to memorise the facts anymore that has gotten me more engaged in historical periods.Yanting Guehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788603550626277974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176298515094230212.post-32531680136935427152013-08-08T19:58:22.745-04:002013-08-08T19:58:22.745-04:00I love historical fiction, so like Mirka, WI sound...I love historical fiction, so like Mirka, WI sounds like my cup of tea!;) And I would love to visit the Outer Banks sometime, I just had a friend come from there(she's a wildlife photograhper).Leandra Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00381034024025750992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176298515094230212.post-29549770091639086182013-08-08T19:05:52.028-04:002013-08-08T19:05:52.028-04:00Thanks, Anola!
