Friday Favorite: Coins of the United Kingdom

Cora Lee

Our Favorite this week is for you visual learners out there: pictures of coins minted in the UK during the reign of George III. Clicking any of the individual coins will get you a nice close-up (like the one pictured below of a 3 shilling coin from 1812), so you can see the color of each coin (and therefore which metal its made from), read the inscriptions, and compare variations of the same denomination (if there were variations). There are also coins pictures from the Anglo Saxon period right up through present day. Click here to check it out!

TBR Challenge Check-In

Cora Lee

Welcome to autumn in the Northern Hemisphere! And happy spring in the Southern Hemisphere! Three months left to go in our TBR Challenge, fellow readers–have you been making progress toward your goal?

I managed to read a single book this month (Tessa Dare’s A Lady By Midnight), but have otherwise been distracted by other commitments. The day job is going well, even if it’s a little dull at times (though I’ll take dull any day of the week over the stress and unhappiness I left behind). The editing business is picking up, too, enough that I haven’t had much time for my own writing (though I hope to remedy that in October, before Lady Cecilia becomes well and truly angry with me for putting her off). But lots of business is a good problem to have 🙂
