Ahaahhaha I need to read this. Hilarious!

If you haven't read the Wimsey books starring Harriet Vane, YOU MOST CERTAINLY NEED TO. LIKE, RIGHT NOW.

I KNOW, PLEASE FORGIVE ME. As I am new to the wonders of the Wimsey/Vane fabulousness (I've only seen Strong Poison & Have His Carcase), I've yet to find and read the books.

You must must must read the books. They are so much better than the tv versions. They will make you grin and your heart sing.

Right so I've found a bunch of them on PaperBackSwap. Now, should I start with the very first one? Or read the ones with Harriet Vane first?

I managed fine with just reading the first Peter & Harriet book first, 'Strong Poison'. The Harriet books after that go 'Have His Carcase', 'Gaudy Night' and then 'Busman's Honeymoon'.

I went back and read the non-Harriet ones afterwards. :)

Awesome, I've ordered all 4. Thanks!

Ok, will do.
No Harriet/Lord Peter in one's life? How sad!

Thank you All Knowing Source of Harriet Goodness. What would I do with you and missfoxie in my life?

[missfoxie]

Oh, you bought them, yayyy! Prepare to enjoy yourself immensely. Also to properly fall in love with book characters. ;)

Awww, shucks. <3
