It took me three times to finish Lord of the Rings... Actually it took me three times just to finish "Fellowship of the Ring." I got super tired of Bilbo's birthday party.

Once I got past that, it was a breeze. But at 12 years old, all that first 400 pages is a bit tough to get through.

I have had books that I set aside and then come back to...

Devil in the White City... King Leopold's Ghost...

I usually alternate between reading and audio books so I'll get it one way or the other.

Mussels... or clams or you prefer.

Garlic, shallot and lemon zest with a bit olive oil. Then toss in some champagne. Bring to a boil. Throw in clams or mussels.

Sprinkle with parsley and lemon.

A loaf of baguette is nice.

I hope this gets done soon... I would love to post my story about the murder of the Romanovs without having to add a subplot about Anastasia having sex in a closet with a Bolshevik guard.

Or my story about Anne Boleyn's execution without including her not-so romantic trysts with a gouty ginger fat-ass with a filthy infected leg wound.

I an glad there is interest. I was wondering if there would be a difference category for history or historic fiction.

I've noticed that site has a history section but this one does not.... Would it be possible to get a historical fiction category made here?

Dx

I was wondering there were any recent plans to add any new story categories. I'm hoping to see be a historical fiction category.

Thaks..
