I'm always hesitant to do the library challenges for fear of neglecting my books at home, but I always get library books anyway, so I might as well do one.Reading in the Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812641480668564435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-85008307970252235092014-12-18T20:38:04.965-05:002014-12-18T20:38:04.965-05:00Aha!

When I find it in the $5 bin some time, I'll get it.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks! I had fun with it. I meant to do something festive, but then I had this idea instead.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-10170920272320821662014-12-18T18:54:16.951-05:002014-12-18T18:54:16.951-05:00True, true.

All I could remember was that Hiddleston was gonna play Hank Williams, Jr, but that's not even out yet, so I don't know what I was thinking. It's very nice. :-)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635893479396162523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-4036446820070007992014-12-18T17:09:25.287-05:002014-12-18T17:09:25.287-05:00Lol.

No one can accuse me of not having a broad range of interests.<br /><br />My header, clockwise starting with the biggest picture, has Tom Hiddleston just looking daydreamy because the picture worked with my quote and was the right size, F. Scott Fitzgerald writing something, Corey Stoll playing Ernest Hemingway in <i>Midnight in Paris</i>, Ernest Hemingway editing something, and Corey Stoll as Hemingway again talking to Tom Hiddleston as F. Scott Fitzgerald in <i>MIP</i>. I wanted to just do pics of Hiddleston as F. Scott and the real Fitzgerald, but it was weirdly hard to find good pics of him from that movie, so I had to put BOTH my favorite Lost Generation writers in there.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-24797743929034733492014-12-18T13:54:00.066-05:002014-12-18T13:54:00.066-05:00You are impressive.

Even when all I'd read of his was <i>The Great Gatsby</i> (which I disliked the first time through), I was so interested in him and his writing that, well, I named my blog after something he said.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-47532887272703939492014-12-16T15:10:08.764-05:002014-12-16T15:10:08.764-05:00Duh!
