Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.
Teppy, I'm sorry your vacation isn't cooperating with your need for actual rest and recreation. But about Crocodile on the Sandbank, I can say that the Amelia Peabody mysteries definitely make things better. Also, they include what I consider to be THE best title for a book, EVAR: The Last Camel Died at Noon.

I saw her speak at a bookstore (she's local!) right about the time that came out. She came sweeping into the store wearing a long khaki skirt, a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a pith helmet.
She also writes as Barbara Michaels, fyi.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Man, I used to read the hell out of her! I liked the Peterson's better than the Micheal's, because I think her love of Egypt adds a shine to the Peabody books that was missing from the Micheals'

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Teppy, may the rest of your vacation pass peacefully and delightfully.
Aims, I'm sorry that you're sick but glad to know you will head to the doctor if it gets bad or sticks around too long.
ou never know if you're going to get Kitty Bits or chunk light tuna in spring water.
Heh.
I read a lot of the Peters when I was a teenager, poaching off my mom's mysteries when I had finished my own library books.
Two more tidbits about yesterday's date, who may need an acronym b/c his first initial is B: 1) he got my drink at the coffee place so I dropped in a dollar for tip, and he dropped in another dollar; and 2) he also used to play rugby.

Oh, also, Teppy - you probably know this, but ibuprofen really does help with the discomfort of a sunburn.

I saw her speak at a bookstore (she's local!)
She is? I did not know that.
I'm just about through the Pratchett catalog. It has brought me great joy.
Now, I'm collecting the Peabody catalog, ready for a marathon.
I have listened to them out of order, due to library availability, so now I'm actually planning to go start to finish.
Barbara Rosenblatt is a joy as a reader. This is going to be great!

Elizabeth Peters/ Barbara Michaels/ Barbara Mertz (I think that's her real last name) the last I heard lived in Maryland ... Frederick, I think. But she definitely is/was local (she may have moved since the last I heard).
I'm afraid I kind of burned out on the Amelia Peabody books, but I still have most of her older ones and do a reread now and then.
