I think it’d take me at least a year to come up with some clever little costume like that too!

That’s wonderful that you are getting two weeks vacation – ooh just think of all that reading time and visits to the bookstore and stuff.

I like the “formal apology” costume. I don’t get into dressing up, but I do like the cleverness of others who can actually think of good costumes! I’ll have to check out the Classics Circuit. I’m still enjoying Wives and Daughters and will look forward to your Gaskell post. And yay for a nice long winter break! It’s not so far off is it. I’m already contemplating vacation reading as well!

I’m so happy you will have such a long vacation! It’s well-deserved, definitely. Have fun planning your reading! Your description of people’s costumes reminds me of why I don’t like Halloween parties — I’m so absolutely awful with costumes of any kind, and I could never be clever like those people were. I’d want to stay home, I’m afraid.

Sylvia, oh yes, let it snow! It will make the book reading cozy and provide me with exercise when I go out and shovel the sidewalks. As for the dissection costume, part of me says eww and part of me says cool!

Litlove, some interesting things to know about Collins, thank you! Glad you enjoyed my notes about the Halloween costumes, it was a fun evening. And bliss is right in regards to my end of year vacation.

Smithereens, thanks for the info about Collins and the tip about The Law and the Lady.

Daphne, what are you talking about? You had one of those clever Halloween costumes! The UU church here has a big Solstice celebration and I have heard it is quite lovely. Perhaps one of these days I’ll go check it out.

Maggie, oh yes, it will be marvelous!

Grad, isn’t the apology great? You’d think as readers we wold be good at the word play like that but I draw a continual blank on stuff like that. Collins does seem to be having a bit of a resurgence, doesn’t he? At least in book blog world.

Rebecca, well, I’m hoping that if I start thinking about costumes now, I might be able to come up with an idea by next Halloween. I’m looking forward to finding out more about Collins when he makes his tour stop at your blog!

Carrie, oh yes, two-week reading binges don’t come along very often. Maybe I should start training for it?

Yay for the reading binge opportunity! Two weeks! Sweet indeed.

Oh man, I LOVE those Halloween costumes! Clever!
