Books I Have Read This Year

Since last Wednesday:

Trading in Danger - Elizabeth Moon - very good; I am going to have to find the next 4 and complete the set.

A Great Deliverance - Elizabeth George -
Payment in Blood - same -
Well Schooled in Murder - same - I am reading George's mysteries with Lynley and Havers. They do not look in the books like they do on the Mystery! series. Decent mystery books; I will end up owning the lot and lending them out, particularly to L.

I'm with you on the superiority of the books to the Mystery adaptation, for Elizabeth George equally with Ellis Peters.

I'm in the kind of funk lately that leads to rereading Dick Francis; some of his stories are about two adjectives from being R rated slash fic.

Oooo - I love Ellis Peters. The books are better, because they're books. I prefer books to TV generally. TV is useful when there is knitting or embroidering or crocheting to be done. Books are necessary.

I never noticed Dick Francis being slashy; I like his books, and save them for comfort reading.
