We share some of the same loves. :D

Ooh, which ones?

[corvidology]

Mostly Sayers and Christie from this list but I do love a good cosy mystery. :D

[dimity_blue]

Me too! ♥

Patricia Wentworth's Miss Silver books are pretty good.

I seem to mostly read non-fic these days. Big fan of Allingham though, and I really like the work of Naomi Novik. Not terribly interested in contemporary fiction. I think I see reading as an escape to another world, so I guess I prefer fantasy or historical (or historical fantasy!)

[dimity_blue]

Isn't Margery Allingham great? I love her Traitor's Purse and Look to the Lady.

Historical fantasy is good.

I don't think I've read any Naomi Novik. I'll have to check her out.

Dragons, hurrah! She wrote a series of books set in the Napoleonic Wars, but fought with dragons. :) I love them.

"Look To The Lady" is great, yes. One of my favourite Campions. Whilst I like her Campion books best, her non-Campions are worth checking out too, if you haven't already. I particularly enjoyed "Black Plumes"
