Today I am pleased to welcome Lauren Baratz-Logsted back to Shalonda's Blog for an interview question on her One Question Tour. Lauren is the author of the upcoming The Education of Bet, which will be released on July 12th.Summary of The Education of Bet (from Amazon): When Will and Bet were four, tragic circumstances brought them to the same house, to be raised by a wealthy gentleman as brother and sister. Now sixteen, they’ve both enjoyed a privileged upbringing thus far. But not all is well in their household. Because she’s a girl, Bet’s world is contained within the walls of their grand home, her education limited to the rudiments of reading, writing, arithmetic, and sewing. Will’s world is much larger. He is allowed—forced, in his case—to go to school. Neither is happy.
So Bet comes up with a plan and persuades Will to give it a try: They’ll switch places. She’ll go to school as Will. Will can live as he chooses. But once Bet gets to school, she soon realizes living as a boy is going to be much more difficult than she imagined.
And now for today's question...
If you could travel back in time and visit the Victorian Era, what is the first thing you would do?
LBL: Make sure there's indoor plumbing! Yes, I like to go camping, but if we're talking long-term usage...I want modern conveniences!
Thank you so much, Lauren, for allowing me to be a stop on your tour! I totally agree; there's no better invention than indoor plumbing!
Be sure to visit Lauren's stop at Eleni's blog, La Femme Readers in case you missed it yesterday. Tomorrow you can find her at Julie's blog, Bloggers Heart Books.

I'm with you Namine. If I had to go more than a few hours without electricity, I would be in serious trouble!
