Ah, yes, but Lazarus’ “lazy” people don’t procrastinate. They are lazy by intent to be efficient and economical of action, so they are exceedingly well organised. Most people who are described as lazy are actually procrastinators (and clearly Diana is not one of those). Strangely I find myself putting Heinlein’s characters (or at least their attitudes) into Diana’s books. Imagine Friday (or Woody or even Jubal) going back to revolutionary times. I would expect subversion of the highest order!
As for Diana’s bookshelf order, why would anyone want to change it? It’s not a display case. Clearly it works as is; and I, for one, would not want to upset a working arrangement.

Diana, thank you for writing.

Regarding Yari’s comment about American history: I’ve often said that the reason I’ve preferred World History most of my life is that elementary school didn’t have six years to nearly convince me that it was boring. Fortunately, I had a wonderful seventh grade history teacher who showed me there was more to the subject than I thought. Maybe things have improved these days, but in those days we were taught the same core events, usually organized by holiday, year after year. What was taught did not grow as we did. The content in sixth grade was little different than in the first, except the vocabulary was more mature. Now, I still prefer world history but as time has passed the gap has gotten narrower. I wish I had read your books when I was younger.

Love your books and have them in paper and e-books. Browsing your twitter I saw a new book that I was not aware of ot “A Trail of Fire” four stories of the Outlander series. When did it came out and were can I find it?.
Once again thanks for all your writings, they are magical, entertaining and I’ve learn a lot reading your books

I loved this quotation, made me giggle (I am of the “not too tidy” group, especially in places where I try to be creative)

I love the Hedge Hoggggg in the first picture!! I want of those, he’s adorable.

I love your books shelves. I could really get lost in those. So many cool things intermixed with the books. I thought I was the only one who put Cool Stuff on the shelves with my books Though my shelves look a lot like that, I still know just where to go to find a certain book, so it works for me.

Thanks for sharing your sanctuary

Some of us like Klimt and Mondrian. I keep my reference by topic and my leisure reading by author. How else could you find what you need. When you have a sudden thought you want to go directly to it, not hunt around hoping you remember.

I really liked seeing the knife on the bookshelf of Diana G. I am the one who would like to put some civilized manner to her books -I too have a knife similar to the one shown that my youngest son won taking second place in a calf-tying competiton. Those kind of treasures add personality and memories to a bookshelf . . .
