Kelly, have you read the Vicky Bliss series by Elizabeth Peters? I read a few of them back in the 70s, but I don’t remember much about them.

Someone else said that some of her books are free on openlibrary.

Mary Stewart was such a favorite of mine in high school in the 70’s. My grandmother bought a box of romance books for me from a garage sale, but it was full of Harlequin *gag* (I donated most of those to the library), but there were some Stewarts, and another writer I can’t remember that I liked, so I figured the…

I’ve known two women who basically had to beat guys (and some women) off with a stick. They weren’t stunningly beautiful, or had the bodies of goddesses, but they had something, and that something was intense.

Constance Zimmer is amazing. Every time I get to the point I want her character to crash and burn, she does something that makes me regret ever having an evil thought about her.

I kind of root for Rachel because of her upbringing. The manipulative mom is something I’ve lived, seen it with friends, and saw a lot of it when I worked with special ed kids. People really should be licensed to have have kids.

Why do you even bother asking?

That’s how Mario Lanza died.

It looks pretty much the same, no matter what meat you use, so let your grandmother have her fun.

I imagine this is the same person who, in a movie theater, keeps asking their companions, “Why did she do that?” “Is he dead?” “Why are they crying?”

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. How is cloud cuckoo land this time of year?

OMG, I have to save that. Thank you!

I’ve been using the Braun forehead thermometer for years. It’s great for taking temps while the kids are sleeping or if they’re stuff up. The added benefit of not having to sterilize it ranks it right up there.

A man who can dance automatically moves up 5 points on the attraction scale for me.
