This is my 300th post AND the 1st Anniversary of T3! In celebration, I’ve decided to take my inspiration from Maricel’s first T3 offering, Also Known As by Robin Benway.
I read the book after Maricel’s glowing recommendation, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. One of my favorite characters is Roux, Maggie’s new, best friend. I’ve chosen one of her many colorful quotes as my inspiration:
“When I bought this, the salesgirl called the color ‘salmon.’ Salmon!” She shook it in my mom’s direction, and my mom nodded and widened her eyes at me as Roux dove back into her bag. “Can you believe it? I was like, ‘Honey, listen. Salmon’s a fish, not a color.'”
I paired this gloriously pink, plaid button down (because Maricel loves plaid and used it in her post, and also it’s really the only pink thing I own) with simple dark jeans, pearls, and nude flats.
Your turn! What have you been reading and wearing lately?
A BIBLIOPHILE'S STYLE 
Okay, so now I am thoroughly and properly ashamed that I forgot we were going to do this for T3! I am SO sorry! Once again, however, you reveal your expertise in taking an obvious thing and interpreting it in an ingenious way. I’m so happy you liked the book – why can’t she write faster, eh? And I love the serendipity of that pink/salmon plaid! You should wear that top more often!

No apology necessary! It seems like Benway has dropped this series, which is sad, if it’s true. On your advice, I haven’t read the 2nd book, as the first stands alone nicely. The shirt is new, so I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to wear it, but I certainly will wear it more often!

No way! Where did you hear this? Is she writing another series?! Is she not writing at all? Argh! Why do the good ones slip through the cracks?
On a more positive note, I’m currently reading and ENJOYING IMMENSELY The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax. Thank you so much for not giving up on me and my reticence for mysteries. I think I’ve found my gal! 😀

She seems to have written a standalone (or perhaps started a new series):

Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s abandoned the series, but it’s odd.
Yay! Dorothy Gilman passed away a few years ago, but there are 14 Mrs. Pollifax books in all, plus a number of standalones.

Just cyberstalked her blog and even though Fantasticfiction has a third book listed in the series and Amazon has it on sale for $58!!!, there’s no mention of it on her blog. Sigh…
And yes, I stalked Ms. Gilman too and am now putting the rest of the Pollifax series on my library queue! Woots!

Sleuth or Dare, the third book shown in Fantastic Fiction, is just the UK title for the second book.
