A Question…

After reading a blog rant about a certain author’s book cover, I thought I’d take a little informal poll.

Are you bothered by historical anachronisms/errors on romance novel covers?

Can you cite a book cover that has a historical anachronism/error?

Thanks in advance.

For those who are curious, THIS is the post that inspired my poll, which addresses some issues the reader (who is a historical seamstress) had with the gown on the cover of Kate Pearce’s Blood of the Rose.

I won’t share my opinion at this point because I’d like to welcome your comments. Please feel free to share your thoughts. I’d love to hear them!

The feeling of accomplishment

Today I decided I need another blog. Insane, I know 🙂 But after scouring the web, looking for inspiration for my many and varied historical costuming projects, I’ve come to the conclusion that the world needs another historical costume blog. Hopefully the world will agree 🙂 If not, I’ll be talking to myself a lot.

So, how does this relate to the title? I was able to figure out how to point my url to my new blog, install the blog on the new server, create a new header and background image, even load in meta tags, and all without breaking a sweat, or cussing…more than once. Not bad, eh? This tech stuff is so NOT my thing. But you know what is? Sewing, of course!

For those of you who don’t know, I lovelovelove to sew costumes and garb/clothes. IMO, there’s a difference between the two. Costumes are not historically accurate; garb is. As a general rule, I sew costumes.

Anyway, if you’d like to follow my adventures, you’re more than welcome to! The site’s URL is www.noblegarb.com. I hope to see you there!
