I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Careless In Red
by
Elizabeth George

, December 14, 2010
"Head to toe in black, but her lips were red. They were as red as a rose might be. They were as red as blood indeed was." ("Careless in Red", p.156) I know that Elizabeth George can write, but not from reading this book. Her regretful tendency to turn series hero Lynley into mythical idol, here reaches new and embarassing heights (depths?) as she metaphorically compares him to Christ borne down by cross and thorns on his trek to crucifiction.

Frederica
by
Georgette Heyer
hako
, December 08, 2007
The many fans of Georgette Heyer's extend generations. She is a wonderful writer and celebrated historian. This book, like her others, is a "romance" in the same way that Austen's books are "romances". "Frederica" is a great favorite; it shows Heyer's impressive skills with creating children and dogs, as well as a diverse and vivid set of characters. "Venetia" has to be described as the most romantic of her delightful novels, but "Frederica" is one of the most fun.
