That looks good, Jilli! Adding it to my list.
Don't I get a cookie?

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."

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
... dammit, the rabbits are a symbol of drunkenness in Aztec mythology. Not bunnies with occult powers.
The book is fun, but I did have my hopes up for bunnies of the occult.

I'm going to get that just because that Buffy horoscope thing said I was Anya.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I remember being a fan of Barbara Michaels/Elizabeth Peters/Barbara Mertz.

I don’t think I ever read anything under the Mertz name

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I think the only things she wrote under her own name - Barbara Mertz - were serious Egyptology books (she had a Ph.D. in the subject). I have one. FYI, the Barbara Michaels books often have a supernatural element - ghosts, hauntings, etc. The Peters books less so (why, yes, I've read just about everything she wrote).

That would explain it! Thanks

I read all the Peters books back in the day - many of them are comfort reads still - but found the Michaels books a little too gothic-y and not as humorous. I probably need to try them again. Lord knows, I need some comfort reading.
