Sadly, not dozens.
I love Brat Farrer. (How could I not - a mystery, with horses.)
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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."

Not dozens, though, only 6 or 7.
Ah, I was getting her confused with Georgette Heyer. Whom I also haven't read. I think I confused her with Barbara Cartland.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Heyer's writing is smart and funny. Cartland's writing is...not.

It was the similar covers of the books when I was a kid. I shall rectify my lack of Heyer.

I went on a big Tey binge a year or two ago. Can't believe I had never heard of her before.
Brat Farrar is my favorite, along with The Daughter of Time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I still haven't read Brat Farrar, partly because the old Mystery adaptation is still in my brain.

Can't believe I had never heard of her before.
How is that possible? Maybe because Betsy doesn't post here anymore.
Daughter of Time was voted the greatest mystery of all time by a large poll of mystery writers.

Except the historians now mostly agree that it's hogwash.
I first learned about Tey from watching the Mystery adaptation of Brat Farrar as well. I really liked the actor in it, as I recall.

Does that change the book?
