Diane –

I’m so glad I’m not the onl one who “saves” things! I have been working at losing weight and finally convinced my husband to go into the actic to get out boxes of clothes I had save as I went up-ward and thought I’d finally be able to wear again!

Well, I did find things but it also made me realize how mch sizing had changed! I was excited because I could finally fit back into a size 6 but when I tried on my old black corduroy jeans that are a size 12 they just fit!

Maybe saving things aren’t such a good idea after all! Guess I didn’t lose enoigh weigt yet! Back on the diet!

PS: You’d be proud of my bookcases though. I have them by genre and alphabetical by author – all 6 of them! I guess I’m a “neat” hoarder!

Diane, I agree with Norah that you are talented, gracious and just plain wonderful. Thanks for sharing your move-around space. I do the same thing. I move to a corner of my bedroom, to the bed, and then into the living room where chaos abounds. Love all of your research books! And your view from the den is wonderful.

Norah, thanks for another fun post!

Diane, love the view from your den window! I have a study with a wall of book shelves. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Loved this photo-essay, and wow I am impressed with your large library collection! DH and I are both history nuts… and it’s no coincidence that part of why I love Diane’s books so much is that many feature military heroes and back stories.

Thanks for sharing with us! Now back to BORN TO SCANDAL, which I’m reading at this moment! 😉 And loving it, I might add!!
I melt for heroes who are kind to their children! And Anna is so brave!

I don’t know what it is about writing in a recliner but I do a lot of that too and love it. I find it more comfortable writing there, specially with the fireplace on. It makes the room so… inspiring ! 🙂

What a book room! Wow…. now THAT’S a lot of books.

Blessings

Diane, I think we need to form a support group for historical research addicts. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow. You all make me feel better. Now I’m wondering if all those other authors just cleaned up for the blog!!! (but I doubt it. There are neat people in the world.)

MJ, I don’t think I’m exaggerating about the research books. I think I counted them once.

Pepper, I recommend double shelving books if two bookcases are not enough.

Big wave to MJ, Debra, Lee, and Zoe! And thanks to all of you for commenting and making me feel more normal.

What a small world! Two of my favorite authors and I didn’t realize they knew each other! Norah, it doesn’t surprise me a bit to hear how Diane took you under her wing. Diane, thank you so much for the glimpses into your mobile office–I like to write in different areas, too, just to change things up bit. By the way, I think you might need a bigger award shelf! 😉

I was reading your post and loving the pics, then hit that book room! You only have ONE room like that? LOL. No seriously, we all have room like that occasionally. Thank God for the invention of the ereader!
Your writing spaces look lovely. Thank you!
