So very glad you're on the mend! Lots of interesting books. I have just finished A Winter's Tale - chosen on the strength of your review and found it a very fast, very pleasant read. Must look out for the D E Stevenson now too!

Thank you! Glad you liked the Trisha Ashley. Happy to lend you the DES.

Glad you're feeling better. Love that cover. Nice selection of books that you've read. I must try Lorna Hill. I've just abandoned A S Byatt's Possession and I refuse to feel guilty! Nicola@VintageReads

Thank you!
I do think you enjoy Lorna Hill more if you've read her as a child. There are several series with connecting characters; lots of ponies, lots of dominating male characters. The dance series are the Wells books and the Annette books. When I was clearing out I got rid of all except the Wells series because I'm fond of them and they're pretty. I put some pictures up a while ago here.

Thank you and I hope you're still improving.

She is! Cosy murder is just the thing. I do recommend those Dandy Gilver books, too and I even enjoy Agatha Raisin when I don't feel like much else.

I am glad you are feeling a bit better.

I have never read any books by Patricia Wentworth, though we have plenty on the van. I know what to choose next!

Thank you!

I do find the Miss Silver books variable; some are much better than others. I'm surprised you have them on the van as there are none in our library!

I thought you hadn't been around but got out of the LJ loop for a week or so, so wasn't sure where you were. Glad you are on the mend now.
