I completely agree with you. I was shocked at how little was said about it, and at how slowly people were willing to label it terrorism when that's clearly what it was. And that Mitt Romney doesn't know how to say "Sikh" and basically just everything about the whole thing. I don't tend to post about current events on Facebook myself, but it stunned me how few people posted about this as compared to the idiotic Chik-Fil-A non-issue issue.<br /><br />If you're having all second thoughts about posting the post (which btw I thought was great), you can delete this comment too, I won't mind. Just wanted to say I think you're completely right.Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-41877849179683525402012-08-09T15:50:03.670-05:002012-08-09T15:50:03.670-05:00This is on my list, I love that Bennett wrote it a...This is on my list, I love that Bennett wrote it about the real queen and not a fictional one, it makes it all the more appealing.

I've been kind of obsessed by British royalty lately and love the idea of the queen as a reader. But I can't imagine the Palace doesn't have some kind of library! I'm currently reading a biography of Queen Victoria and it mentions some royal moving into a palace with 50,000 books, which is my idea of heaven.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-2205960626346455932012-08-08T23:14:33.520-05:002012-08-08T23:14:33.520-05:00I remember being charmed by this one too!
