So Melissa, I do not read every post - but I am always impressed and inspired by those I do. Thank you for the dedication and focus you put into your blog entries. I truly appreciate your talent.
Art does mirror art! And sometimes it comes from the strangest places too. I have an historical fiction piece making the rounds of magazines - well, actually it's on its' second submission, after History Through Fiction gave it (I think, or at least believe, maybe just hope) a fairly narrow pass in their annual short story contest two years back. I am more of a way back there classic rock guy, and anytime I thought about the event in Byzantine (Later Roman) history the tale is based upon, even long before I crafted a a story out of it, I always heard my mind go to a background track of Thin Lizzy's 'Tonight There's Gonna Be a Jailbreak'!
I just found you through Sparkle. I'm a lover of book sales, own too many books, continue to buy more even though I have books jammed into almost every nook and cranny in my home. Love the list. I read "A Well Behaved Woman." It's been awhile ago, but I remember liking it. I like to read anything that has to do with the Vanderbuilts. I'm intrigued by the Biltmore and have visited on numerous occasions.
Great choices. Three were already on my TBR. I added the two that weren’t
Yay! Which two did you add?
Blue Butterfly and Learning to See. ☺️
Awesome! Happy reading
Haven't listened to TS WHOLE album yet but I think you nailed those five
Yay! I would love to know if you have any book/song pairing after you listen to the whole album. Which song is stuck in your head right now?

I’m sure even with classic rock there would be some great book pairings!
LOVE this! Loving this album and love historical fiction. Well done!
Thanks, Jen! It was a fun post to write.
An American Beauty and A Well-Behaved Woman are fantastic.
