Bad tornadoes coming through the South at the moment--my internet connection has not been the most reliable today, so this is just me checking in to say that we're fine, but this might be the only time you hear from me today

Bookworm is nc_bookworm. And I ate dinner with her last night, finally, after something like three years of talking to her online. Now I just need to meet you and brainchild and cynara, and my life will be complete.

ETA: I can think of at least five more people to add to that list. Don't be offended if I left you off.

I'm totally offended, yo.

It actually got a mention on the website of Chicago's local newsradio station - because she's from Illinois.

As an Elisabeth (musical) fan, I also recommend the Hamann book - if you read German, she's also done a very good biography of the Crown Prince Rudolf that has many mentions of Sisi herself.

I third the Hamann recommendation and it reminds me that I haven't watch the awesome kitsch-fest that are the 3 Sissi movies in forever!

Wow, I'm actually commenting on something about Nora Roberts

I'm impressed: CNN's report on Nora Roberts's reaction to the plagiarism has made its front page and its Popular News list.

It's actually the same Associated Press article, not a new one.

Mainly I'm noting the play the story's getting. (Ahhh; further reminder of why it's INCREDIBLY HELLA STUPID TO PLAGIARIZE, ESPECIALLY IN THE GOOGLE AGE. This gladdens me.)

Sure, I just wanted to keep people from rereading if they've been following the story.
