Ask the Geeky Girls -
Hillary (CraftyTextileLady) from Canada asks:
I have a question for CC (since I’m going to go out on a limb and assume Dami is too busy with school to be attempting it): How are you doing with the Modern Ms Darcy reading challenge? I’m trying both it and your reading challenge for the first time this year. I have found it has caused me to pick up books that I otherwise wouldn’t read, some of which I’ve enjoyed and others not so much.
We mention: Lady Falcon Travelers (my 100 Acre Wood BuJo cover)

Ask the Geeky Girls -
Denise (fuzziekit) from Michigan asks:
Dami: Thank you for giving me a love of musicals back. Right now I am having a hard time not picking up every single one of the musical cds I find. So far I have only picked up the Hadestown live show, at least I think that is what it is, out in the car and I am not leaving my seat to go check, and love it. If you were to pick only one other show to recommend picking up, what would it be? sighs Okay, I will give you an option of five. ;)
