Glad I got both of them.<BR/><BR/>Re: the lottery...I posted the question on the avon board (I may dislike the publishers' tactics, but the posters are very nice and helpful) and a member gave me a website to check out: http://www.naspl.org/history.html<BR/><BR/>Apparently, lotteries are like prostitution...i.e. been around forever! Queen Elizabeth established the first English Lottery in 1567, so I guess Cornick knows her history. Book still sucked though. Accurate history won't diminish the stupidity of the heroine unfortunately!romanceloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905716428189193561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14637143.post-1139594010149044462006-02-10T09:53:00.000-08:002006-02-10T09:53:00.000-08:00I love Something Wonderful.

Just don't go near Whitney, My Love or A Kingdom of Dreams. LOL<BR/><BR/>Thanks for checking on that lottery thing. I've heard of wagers and such placed in historical periods, but never lotteries. I was just curious. =)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410951433962652780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14637143.post-1139584091222882802006-02-10T07:08:00.000-08:002006-02-10T07:08:00.000-08:00Hey...I will definitely stay away from the McNaugh...Hey...I will definitely stay away from the McNaught book (at least this one...have to read SOMETHING WONDERFUL!!!). <BR/><BR/>Re: the lottery. There's some sort of lottery going on at the beginning of the story; winner takes 30,000 pounds...I don't know if it's historically accurate...I guess I will have to ask my hated/loved AVON board. All I know is that everyone was participating, even the rich, but the heroine had to hide the fact that she won because it would have caused a scandal...you've raised an interesting point..i'll get back to you!romanceloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905716428189193561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14637143.post-1139525516726341972006-02-09T14:51:00.000-08:002006-02-09T14:51:00.000-08:00Oh, but I did have one question...What lottery?
