Phyllis Whitney! That's who I was forgetting. I read a million of her books, too.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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."

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oddly, Whitney had no pseuds. I thought Plaidy was Whitney for a while. Whitney was 104 when she died!

The status is NOT quo.
I JUST finally started reading the whole Amelia Peabody series.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Diminishing returns in the later books, from what I've heard. Though I haven't read them myself it did sound like the series exhausted itself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I just kind of lost interest in that series, eventually, but I don't know whether that was me or them, really.
