I like your evil. :)
ATTWN is such an excellent book. I haven't read it in years, but I remember loving it to pieces. My mama raised me on really excellent mystery writers - Ngaio Marsh, Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Arthur Upfield, Dashiell Hammett, etc. - and I still have the battered, dog-eared copy of ATTWN that she gave me. It's older than I am.
How do you have so much self-control? When I find a really excellent romance novel, I can't stop myself from making massive grabbyhands and gobbling it up in one go (I've been known to do the same thing with boxes of chocolate and bottles of wine. >.>)

>:D Why, thank you. *preens evilly*
I haven't read any Agathas in years, it's shocking, but ATTWN is so awesome, I compare a lot of mystery plots I see to it (and other books of hers). I think sometimes people don't consciously rip her books off, but the ideas and twists and that have been so popular that it's like a trope in the genre and that's so cool. ^_^

Aww, that's so sweet, you have that history! I read mine from the library, lol.
I finally finished Venetia with a wistful yet content sigh. *mourns* I don't want it to be oveeeeerrrrr. I've read three Georgette Heyer books so far- one was so awful, I couldn't stand it, but I'd read Devil's Cub (awesome!) so I gave her another go with Venetia and I'm ever so glad ( ... )
