Oh, hey, I read that not too long ago but haven't gone any further on the series yet. I expect I'll pick up the next one at some point.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

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."

Oh yes I read a few of those books a couple years ago and keep seeing there's more.

Oh that series is a ton of fun. Jodi Taylor I think? There's a couple of dark moments, in the middle, but stick it out. Worth it! I enjoy the hell out of all of the full length and novellas.

Because books.
Has anyone tried the historical mysteries by Andrea Penrose? The first one is Murder on Black Swan Lane. I'm going to dive in while I wait for my hold on the third Sherry Thomas.

Historical mysteries remain my best comfort food.

Amy I have read them! And now in looking them up see there's a new one coming out. I enjoyed them, though I tend to like that subgenre of fancy historic ladies solving crimes (see also: Lady Darby, Lady Emily, Lady Julia...)

It looks like it's only 99 cents for kindle today. So I grabbed it. I was reading a lot when quarantine happened, but I haven't been able to get into anything the last few weeks.

I have to admit that I stopped reading the Jodi Taylor books after a while because the interpersonal drama warped into abuse in a few ways, and I realized the writer was more interested in that than in the actual plot shenanigans. At any rate, I put them down after 3 or 4 and have not had any interest in going back...

Well, shoot, I'm not getting the 99 cent deal. Boo.
