I’m related to Elizabeth Bowen on the Vernon side (!) but I’ve never been able to read her. Perhaps I need to try again.

How fun! She’s never been a fave of mine, but I’ve read and enjoyed (and own) a few of her books.

Hey, I picked up the “Eighty Days/ Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland” book a few months ago at a book sale. I’d forgotten about it until I saw your post. You’ve inspired me to move it to the top of my TBR list.
Your list is fascinating, as always. I don’t think anyone could ever accuse you of being stuck in a reading “rut”! 😉

And, thanks! My interests are nothing if not eclectic.
