I've been reading Dreyer's English in between reading my fictional escapes, and I'm finding it both informative and entertaining. :)
from description: "As Random House’s copy chief, Dreyer has upheld the standards of the legendary publisher for more than two decades. He is beloved by authors and editors alike—not to mention his followers on social media—for deconstructing the English language with playful erudition."
I love that he upholds the Oxford (or series) comma!

April is National Letter Writing Month and the Write_On campaign, and I've been making a supply of envelopes and postcards to send. Yes, the crafty part of me loves making envelopes and postcards and decorating them. I also love writing letters, and of course, receiving them!
Letters of Note by Sean Usher has wonderful letters from famous and ordinary people that cover the range of human emotions.

These book covers are so gorgeous! Follow the link for more examples.
I love the Oxford comma! I'm always surprised to see that British people don't seem to use it.
ReplyDeleteI know! The Oxford comma makes sense of nonsense and even looks better than the lack thereof!
DeleteAre you going to post some pics of your postcards and envelopes? I love seeing what you do with them; they're always so artistic and fabulous. Makes me wish I was half that artistic.
ReplyDeleteMaking my own envelopes and postcards and decorating them is a silly and remarkably satisfying hobby!
DeleteI read The Sisters: The Saga of the Mitford Family by Mary Lovell a few years ago and found it really interesting. You couldn't make some of that stuff up!
ReplyDeleteThose covers are lovely! We do judge them by their covers sometimes. :D
You really couldn't make it believable in fiction, could you?
DeleteThose vintage covers are beautiful! I know there were cheap and unattractive ones as well, but the site has some that are gorgeous. :)
Thank you about the reminder of National Letter Writing Month! So many things to look forward to this Spring right? I wish I could have a week long vacation to catch up on fun stuff. And, love those book covers!
