Oh, Amy, I'm so glad you liked it.
Can I also recommend another book? Not a sobbing one, but a pirate romance of sorts? Cinnamon and Gunpowder by Eli Brown.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

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."

This sounds EXACTLY like what I need right now.
Lately I’ve been chugging through the delightful Sebastian St Cyr Regency mysteries and enjoying the heck out of them.

Because books.
I'll look it up! And also those Regency mysteries, because I loved the Kate Ross ones.

Amy. Have you read Tasha Alexander's Lady Emily mystery series? The first is called And Only to Deceive. It took a bit for me to really get into, but they are richly researched, set in a variety of places (and quite vividly so), and feature an intelligent female protagonist. They're set in the late 19th century.

Oh! I HAVE that book, Pix! I forgot I had gotten it on my Kindle a while back.

Cinnamon and Gunpowder looks great! It's got sort of a Big Fish vibe.

Why are you people giving such good recs when I'm doing the TBR Triple Dog Dare and can't read anything new until April Fools? It's a conspiracy!

Consuela, thanks for the link! I love Vernon's gardening essays and Digger comic. It's great to read another kind of work by her.
