Victoria Holt was also Phillipa Carr, and Jean Plaidy--all three pseuds for Eleanor (Alice Buford) Hibbert. Who knew?
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.

Because books.
I did! I knew that! ::grins::
I was surprised to find that Dorothy Eden was only even Dorothy Eden apparently.
I feel like there's one author from this genre that I'm overlooking, but I can't think of her name.
I do remember that after this era came the era of the Sprawling Family Epic, a la Evergreen and A Woman of Substance.

Phyllis Whitney! That's who I was forgetting. I read a million of her books, too.

I tried a couple of Whitney's but they were too cliche. Something about an orphan who caused trouble because her parents were "bad".

Oddly, Whitney had no pseuds. I thought Plaidy was Whitney for a while. Whitney was 104 when she died!

The status is NOT quo.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Walp, Pix, are you ever in for a treat.

I JUST finally started reading the whole Amelia Peabody series.
They're a lot of fun! I stopped after the 6th because I was getting a little burned out, but I need to pick them back up again.

I've already burned through the first four. So fun!

I started in the middle because I was browsing at the library and found myself unable to walk past a book entitled "The Last Camel Died At Noon". I wasn't wrong. Then I went back to the beginning. There are some of the later books I haven't read yet.
