For suddenly, I can see the magic of books!

I think that my penchant for British detective novels may be getting a little out of hand. I just read the following in Elizabeth Peters' The Curse of the Pharaohs, the second Amelia Peabody mystery, which I am thoroughly enjoying

But they are SO GOOD it doesn't matter if it gets a bit out of hand! And just wait til you get to the later Amelia books - my favourite is He Shall Thunder in the Sky :D

Ooh, can't wait. I also now understand your entry tag about Amelia Peabody's parasol, and why Radcliffe Emerson is your perfect man (oooooh, yes).

Oh, I'm so glad you understand the tag now! Because her parasol IS awesome :D

And Radcliffe... *drools* If they ever made a movie version of the Amelia books, Daniel Day-Lewis HAS to play him.

Hmmm, I hadn't thought of Daniel Day-Lewis as Emerson...but hmmm.
