Farley and Henry! I loved the horse books.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
King of the Wind! Still a favorite, as are the Farleys, before he incorporated the space aliens wtf?
Victoria Holt is also somebody else - both of whose books I read.
Jean Plaidy and Phillipa Carr.
Also, Barbara Michaels is actually Barbara Mertz, aka Elizabeth Peters.

Barbara Mertz writes very interesting books on Egyptology. Having a talented author is handy when dealing with dull-to-some topics.

Her expertise and knowledge of the subject certainly enhances her fiction--both the Peabodys and the Vicki Bliss books.

I've read a number of the Peabody books, but I petered out on the series. I thought the Peabody clan got a little too perfect over time.

Yeah, once Ramses and Nefret got together, it lost some of the zing. I'm tired of the focus on Sethos, he was much better as the Nemesis in the Shadows.
