Thursday: Meanderings

Forget alliteration; I'm going to just think of other clever ways to describe my 'theme' posts. So, Thursday will have Meanderings -- links to lead us around the internet...or something like that.

• Fitzgerald eye candy: Coralie Bickford-Smith is a senior cover designer at Penguin Books and she offers a drool-inducing series of covers for F. Scott Fitzgerald
• Anaïs Nin Myth of the Day: Myth #15: Rupert Pole “romanticized” the story of his first meeting of Anaïs Nin.
• From the Smart Set: The bacchanalia of the British Empire
• Give Yourself Permission: by editor Molly O'Neill
• Not the kind of parties my book-loving friends and I throw: Celebrating Scandal
• Blameless Book Launch Tea: I am still on pins-and-needles for Carriger's next book, so I think I need to throw a Blameless party of my own!
• James Ellroy interview; I had no idea his mother was murdered when he was a child. How especially sad.
