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.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

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."

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?

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
I'm reading Reflections, a book of essays on writing by Diana Wynne Jones and am loving it. It's making me want to re-read everything of hers.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I read Diana's website a while back and it has a longish memoir about her childhood during WWII when she and her sisters were evacuated during the blitz. Really fascinating. Among other things, her neighbors out in the country included Beatrix Potter and T.H. White, both of whom were apparently quite grumpy.
