I'd love to be around for talk-like-a-Brit day, just to eavesdrop... my American friend Annie always sounds like a cross between the Queen and a cockney urchin when she tries... is it accent or vernacular too?<br /><br /><b>Claire</b> - glad you joined in! Hope you had a good weekend<br /><br /><b>Claire B</b> - thanks for helping persuade :)<br /><br /><b>Harriet</b> - it's all pretty informal, just getting people to pick up novellas if they wouldn't normally think of reading them, or fancy getting down a few on their tbr pile!<br /><br /><b>Hayley</b> - great! Will look forward to reading about them all. I do love novellas, as you know - but I do worry that in ten or twenty years' time all the books I have on my tbr shelves will be 300+ pages...<br /><br /><b>Nancy</b> - I *need* to hear sound recordings of these Brit-alikes!StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-33128736606884027842011-03-13T02:06:25.369+00:002011-03-13T02:06:25.369+00:00Have a great weekend, Simon!
