I read the first Lindsey Davis and several Steven Saylors a number of years ago and then stopped for some reason. I would have to go back to the beginning for both series, but that's not a hardship. My memory is such these days that it would be like reading a new book. The only thing I remember is that Lindsey Davis was more hard-boiled and Saylor seemed more British somehow - he's actually from Texas I think.
Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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'm a couple books behind in the St. Cyr series, but I have been reading it, as well as the Victoria Thompson and a number of other historical series.
It's a few years old, but Sharan Newman has a series set in medieval France.
I am currently reading "The Painted Queen" which is the last Amelia Peabody book. It's from a manuscript Elizabeth Peters started, but didn't get to finish, so the publishers got Joan Hess to finish it. It does seem a little...off, but I will finish it for completion's sake.
I'm getting to the point where I read Kate Ross's Regency mysteries long enough ago that I can reread them, which will be a treat.
Jilli, I assume you've had multiple people pointing you towards this, but just in case:
Giveaway on Goodreads, including a link to request a review copy from NetGalley - I'm not sure whether I'll qualify as a "reader of influence", but I'd bet folding money that you do.
Holy cow: The Broken Earth books might be a tv series! [link]
I saw that, Consuela, but wondered how? It's such a very complex and different world.
Yeah, I can't imagine how they can pull that off but if they can I will be thrilled to watch it!
I found River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey on the new book shelf today. It's a short AU about a 19th century America in which Congress actually did decide to populate Louisiana with free-range hippos.
Oh! Amazon has been recommending that to me but I thought it was something entirely different. Intriguing.
I'm so so excited about Nora's series!!!
Also when it is posted, Ursula Vernon'/ Hugo acceptance speech is the funniest best thing.
