I bet it's one of the most gorgeous places to be at Christmas!<br /><br />My NaNo wish is to finish my novel before Thanksgiving. I like to enjoy the holiday and then spend the weekend decorating for Christmas, so I don't want to have to worry about my word count. *fingers crossed!*<br /><br />Happy reading and writing! from <a href="http://lauramarcella.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines</a>Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-35679877922333997542013-11-07T20:09:06.480-05:002013-11-07T20:09:06.480-05:00The pictures are lovely, Talli and Deniz!

I may have to borrow that--I'm only three hours away from Montreal!

Sounds lovely. I'll pick it up soon. <br /><br />Like the NaNo widget, Deniz. Looks like you're going well. I'm a bit bogged down.

Talli's book sounds like something I'd want to read, even though I tend to prefer British-set books taking place in cities besides London.
