Behind the 8-ball, as usual

Oh man, I just saw my favorite author Barbara Mertz, writer of my beloved Amelia Peabody mysteries under the pseudonym Elizabeth Peters, died in August

These quotes are flippin' godlike! A new writer I have to carefully investigate! (Although sadly not one liable to be productive in future. Dammit.)

Especially these:

-"Marriage should be a balanced stalemate between equal adversaries."

-"The difficulty was that he was a man."

-"A lady cannot be blamed if a master criminal takes a fancy to her."

In every case, ain't it the bloomin' truth.

Welcome, welcome! Since you like the quotes, will definitely enjoy going on adventures with Amelia Peabody. I am a bad fan and have lost count, but I thinks there are nearly 20 books. The first one is "Crocodile on the Sandbank." Have a great time reading it. :)

In every case, ain't it the bloomin' truth.
It really is. And it's so refreshing to hear it said!

thanks for refriending me gal <3 missed ya!

I am so sorry about Barbara. It's always so hard when someone you truly admire passes. I felt the same way about Annette Funicello, a while ago.
