DICKINSON UNBOUND!

Dickinson Unbound by Alexandra Socarides is the best book on Emily that I've read. I suffered through Oxford's frugal-sized typeface to enjoy this with a pear pecan muffin and white chocolate mocha at local cafe.

Speaking of publications, here's my latest Relished W(h)ines update of recently imbibed books and wines.  As ever, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects!  More info on that HERE.
