Okay meme for people to take their mind off today.

If you have a To Be Read list/pile (comics, books, whatever):

What title(s) are you currently reading?

My current books are Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal and The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers.

The comic titles I’m reading right now are a reread of The Gotham War.

What title(s) are up next on your reading list?

I am eagerly anticipating Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers, in terms of books.

I have the Monkey Prince trades from the library, so they just rocketed up my list.

And I’m also planning to finish Gotham Nocturne, Nightwing #111-118, Catwoman #59-68 and Poison Ivy #22-28.

What title(s) are your emotional support TBRs and you’re planning to get around to them. One day. When the stars align?

My bedside table currently has Pemulwuy by Eric Willmot, Circe by Madeline Miller, and Magnificat by Julian May sitting on it. Only Magnificat is a reread.

In terms of comics, I actually file much of my ‘I’m meaning to get to you’ list that I can’t always hold  in my head in the Favourite Comic Series list on DCUI and remove them when I finish them. Currently this contains: Arion, Lord of Atlantis; Batman: The Imposter; Swamp Thing: New Roots; Swamp Thing Winter Special; Swamp Thing 2000; Swamp Thing 2016; The Swamp Thing 2021; Birds of Prey 2020; Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey; Nubia: Queen of the Amazons; Nubia & The Amazons; The Legend of Wonder Woman; 52; Crime Bible: the Five Lessons of Blood; Batman: Gordon’s Law; L.A.W. (Living Assault Weapons); Artemis: Requiem; John Constantine: Hellblazer; Far Sector; Zatanna 2010; All-Star Superman; Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld 1985; Green Arrow/Black Canary; Let Them Live! Unpublished Tales from the DC Vault’ Adventure Comics 2009; and Teen Titans 2003.

Which is a bit of a mix.

Have you taken anything out of your TBR pile recently, and why?

I am giving myself grace and allowing myself not to bother going back to attempting to read the various Super Sons titles right now.

I’m going to tag @havendance, @androxys, @theaudientvoid, @the-batacombs, @tallochar, @scintillyyy, @late-night-dreamings, @mintchocochipsposts, @avayarising, @kara-zor-els and generally anyone else who wants to join in.

Another long one.

Bob Jones University has the enviable reputation of presenting one of the finest cultural series to be offered anywhere in America. Certainly no other university offers as many top quality programs featuring internationally known artists as does the opera, concert, and drama series at BJU.

This season's programs will include a grand opera, two Shakespearean productions, a chamber symphony, a concert pianist, a musical drama, a vocal duet, a folk singer, and Verdi's "Requiem.

Nine programs are included in the series, and a limited number of season subscriptions are still available at the programs and productions office for $12.50 each. Individual tickets to the one-night performances will not be available.

All programs are presented in Rodeheaver Auditorium, and curtain time is 8 p.m.

Opening the 1967-68 series Oct. 24 will be Benjamin Britten's moving musical drama, "Curlew River." featuring a company of 25 including first desk players of the Little Orchestra Society and members of the Concert Opera Association of New York. Thomas Scherman will be musical director of the company.

The famed Bob Jones University Classic Players will present Shakespeare's "As You Like It," Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday, Nov. 23 and 24. The Shakespeare repertoire group is listed by the international "Shakespeare Survey" as one of the "noteworthy classic repertoire companies" in the United States.

On Dec. 7 Guiseppe Campora -- the distinguished young leading tenor of the Metropolitan Opera and La Scala, Milan -- joins his talents with one of America's most beautiful and gifted singing actresses, Dorothy Coulter, for a delightful evening of opera arias and duets.

Following a highly successful career in Europe. Campora made his Metropolitan Opera debut in 1955 in the role of Rodolfo in "La Boheme." Miss Coulter, a soprano, also made her debut at the Met in "La Boheme." She has appeared with major opera companies in this country and in Europe and has been featured in leading roles in several productions on NBC-TV opera.

America's first permanent chamber symphony -- the Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia -- will be heard in a concert Feb. 1. The symphony, composed of 36 players, will present a program featuring masterpieces of the baroque and romantic periods as well as compositions by outstanding contemporaries, some of which have been especially commissioned.

Anshel Brusilow, conductor, made his debut as a violinist at Carnegie Hall when he was just 17. He has conducted the world renown Philadelphia Orchestra and other major symphonies. Most recently, he was guest conductor of the National Symphony in Washington, D.C.

'The fifth program of the series will feature Stephen Bishop, American-born prodigy pianist, in a recital March 4. The 26-year-old pianist appeared with the San Francisco Symphony while still in his teens.

On March 28 and 30 the Bob Jones University Opera Association will present a fully staged production of Verdi's opera, "Rigoletto." Guest soloists from the Metropolitan and other leading opera companies include Sherrill Milnes, baritone, as Rigoletto; Doris Yarick, soprano, as Gilda; John Craig, tenor, as the Duke; and Ara Berberian, bass, as Sparafucile.

The latter two singers have appeared in BJU Opera Association productions on previous occasions Mr. Berberian sang in "Faust" in 1964, and Mr. Craig was heard in "Lucia di Lammermoor" in 1965.

The artistry of singer-guitarist Kay Britten has been heralded throughout England and the United States. She will present a recital at BJU April 30. Having a high degree of artistic integrity and devotion to folk music in its original and authentic form, she brings a dimension all her own to folk music. Her unusually large repertoire includes songs in several languages, and she has a particular interest in songs of the British Isles.

A highlight of the university's commencement week activities will be the second production of the season by the BJU Classic Players -- Shakespeare's "King Lear," on May 23 and 28. Dr. Bob Jones Jr., president of the university, will portray the title role.

The ninth and final production of the season will be Verdi's "Requiem," which will be presented May 25 and 27 by the BJU Oratorio Society and Symphony Orchestra. Guest artists singing the solo roles include Walter Fredericks, Peter Harrower, and Miss Antonio Kitsopoulos.

A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G Summers

A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers Genre: Psychological fiction, thriller Page count: 240 Rating: 5 stars The book I felt I just had to recommend is A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers. Known by some because of apps like Pinterest, A Certain Hunger grabs readers in with its grotesque yet beautiful cover. From the beginning of the novel, I was instantly immersed in the author’s dark, clever, and fluid writing as we were introduced to the enticing world of food critic and serial killer Dorothy Daniels. Because of her incredibly blunt and detailed insights into the people around her early on, her cold and even barbaric intentions are apparent from the start. Besides her cannibalistic tendencies, being a female psychopath is a rarity in itself and is the very thing that makes her famous among researchers and students alike. For context though, the novel is composed from her perspective as she's writing her memoir in prison. The majority of the story maps and scatters her great loves as well as “great” murders and crimes (accidental and intentional) throughout the story. In the span of only a couple of chapters, we are taken from New York City to Siena, and more, as our twisted narrator recounts her experiences in nostalgic prose. A nostalgia that certainly requires a stronger stomach for most. Regardless, possibly the most remarkable aspect by far is witnessing a calculated yet nonchalant killer unravel before us. Whether you're an amateur in psychological thrillers or a long-time fan, this book is a wonderful start as its writing style is fairly easy to get behind. All in all, with satiric humor and morbid anecdotes, you won't find a more perfect manifestation of macabre and wit anywhere else. A Certain Hunger Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1WM4BqUDMVwdwxpdRyyOWW?si=gJ4iGfGhSSywUO-lXRzUsg&pi=u-qfmOELJDQumE Danse Macabre in G Minor by Camille Saint Saëns I picked this classical song because I thought the mood of the song perfectly embodies just how macabre the whole novel is, as well as the elegance Dorothy loves. Paper Bag by Fiona Apple I picked this song for this book because the whole song talks about the infatuation with men and the pain that comes with it, but what connects even more to Dorothy is the disappointment. Lyrics like “I thought he was a man, but he was just a little boy” and “hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love” are especially perfect for the novel. Arsonist’s Lullabye by Hozier The lyrics talk about the borderline psychotic tendencies the person has experienced ever since he was a child. Now as an adult, the person is embracing their obsession and it’s clear in the lyrics: “Don’t you ever tame your demon, but always keep ‘em on a leash” Oblivion by Grimes I picked this song because it talks about being cautious about getting hurt , whether it’s murderous or by love. Carmen by Lana Del Rey I picked this song because if there’s ever a femme fatale protagonist , there needs to be a lana song. This song embodies Dorothy in the way she carries herself and deals with men. Lacrimosa by Mozart I picked this song because I felt this requiem fit the novel’s mood very well, especially as a theme song for the climax of the book.

[porcelain-requiem]

Fun fact: So a while back, I drew an image of the two Wicked Witches from The Wizard of Oz together. https://www.deviantart.com/porcelain-requiem/art/Wicked-Witch-Pride-192205865

What's fascinating is that in that picture I mentioned that there was a theory that Miss Gulch transformed into the Wicked Witch of the East during the twister scene.

Well, according to IMDb, it's pretty much true.

Quote: "The Wicked Witch that Miss Gulch transformed into while Dorothy looks out her bedroom window during the tornado has shimmering shoes as if she is wearing the Ruby Slippers. This suggests that she is the Wicked Witch of the East. Margaret Hamilton has never been credited for playing this role, since it is only a few seconds long. This shimmer from her shoes is even more noticeable when watching a better-quality copy of the film, such as the 1989 50th anniversary laserdisc version or the 1999 60th anniversary Warner Bros. DVD restored version."

That's right! She had ruby slippers on in the twister scene. And then, I found this artwork of the twister scene online. And though her design looks different from my fanart, it's amazing to see that the theory was true. (Unfortunately I do not know the artist's name of this piece.)

I also found this production still of Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the East complete with the striped socks and ruby slippers.

@pumpkin-bread - a happy birthday lair review for you! I could look through your lair ten times and find ten entirely different groups of dragons to review--it's so stunning and goodness, I cannot imagine the amount of effort it took for you to write all that lore. You continue to be one of my biggest inspirations in the FR community--it's not every day you see someone write lore for such a large lair! As someone who often feels lost amidst the sea of dragons they possess, it's so refreshing to know that, no, it isn't an impossible struggle to write lore for every single one. I take heart in knowing that, someday, I'll be able to fill my lair with amazing stories like you have. Now, I'm done being sappy--it's time to review some lore dragons! (pardon the lack of lair order in the review--my tabs went all wonky as I browsed XD )

Dorothy's lore is so creative and honestly kinda sad! This poor kid can't manage to get it all right--sure, his life now is better than it was when he was essentially a cash cow for his parents, but it still sucks a lot to be isolated from any sort of draconic affection. It seems some changes have happened to the Manor where he lives (is he truly alone now?)...I hope he'll eventually be able to find his ideal life through them.

Misto's lore is 10/10--what a fun concept! I feel so bad for this poor man...he just wants to make some dang coffee and his past simply won't leave him alone. His outfit totally gives coffeemaker vibes as well, and I love how well the mane matches his shirt and pants!

I don't know if I've ever mentioned to you how much I love Amberspire's lore so I just want to take Anya (who is stunning) as an example of why the Amberspire lore is so dang good. I love the concept of a seemingly "pure" and wealthy city hiding such a "dark" and corrupt social hierarchy. I can't imagine the sort of things Anya has seen and done over the course of her time as Pepper's right hand, and what sorts of strings the two of them pull in the background to keep the city running to specifications of its "true" rulers. It's so clear that your lair has a history to it--a history built on years of revision and tweaking. I love that there are generations of residents...that the old leader has retired to let a "puppet" heir take the her place. I'm too attached to my clan's leader to let the effects of time really have that kind of effect on my lore but, dang, reading Amberspire's story really makes me wish I would sometimes. I know this has nothing really to do with Anya but I just wanted to ramble, dangit XD

Malygos' lore is simple but so fun and fitting! The trope of a grumpy old mentor/healer is timeless and never ceases to appeal to me. He makes a great member of the guard, and his contributions are certainly quite vital to the runnings of such an advanced guard program! Lovely colors as well <3

Speaking of favorite tropes, I absolutely adore Penny the lighthearted mechanic! It's always good to see (read about?) people/dragons who take genuine joy in their work, and Penny is no exception. Such a fun persona! And, boy, do I relate with the idea of not knowing when to let a job be. Just like Penny, my friends have had to force me to leave my projects for long enough to stretch and have a meal XD

Golly, Lytra is stunning. I love the contrast of her dark accent with her bright colors! And that lore...bless her heart, I can't imagine what it would have been like for her first failure in the Shade-purging trade to be someone so close to her. I'm glad she's been able to move on somewhat through her travels and new experiences!

Ushi's colors intrigued me, and I found his lore quite delightful! The contrast between his role as a singer and his shy personality is so wonderful and I can totally picture him transitioning from singing his heart out to mumbling out words when asked a question.

I have a soft spot for dragons that stand in for beastclans and other non-dragon creatures, so I had to spotlight Haku in this little review! He's got such a fun and pleasant character, and I love the idea of a member of such a "bloodthirsty" species farming in peace. You always do such a good job of creating fun contrasts!

Embermere's colors are so gorgeous, and I love that he (essentially) gambled his success in life on shooting his shot--and it worked? He and Queen Requiem make an intriguing pair to be sure, and I love that their initial "spark" has now settled out into a genuinely loving relationship. (also, how wholesome is that origin story for him as an ~actual~ dragon (not his history, just how you got him)? the people of FR are their own special breed, I've gotta say ;o; )

Tombolo caught me eye right as I started my browse through your lair, and, reading his bio, I am just in awe of what a special dragon he is? As a relative newbie to FR, it's hard to imagine a time where triples didn't exist. The fact that he was the first ever triple marigold to exist on site is a tremendous feat! And his lore is wonderful as well--it continues that amazing sense of history in your lair. I can tell that his story has evolved right alongside the rest of your clan, and that will never stop being cool to me ;o;

....since when has there been an image limit on Tumblr posts??? this review isn't done (I've got exactly ten more dragons left to review lol) so be on the lookout for the second post!

Voyager Class Ideas

Since Type-Moon has kindly confirmed that Voyager is a real class and not just the name of its current only hero, Voyager 1, so as with every other class, I’m going to speculate on its potential members before Type-Moon even explains what the qualifications are

Going by the name and the one member, I think we can safely assume that it’s a class for heroes who go on voyages, perhaps even designating its members as Heroic Spirits of the Journey (or of the Voyage, but that’s redundant). As a voyage is traditionally defined as a journey taken aboard a ship (across water or through space) I imagine a number of Riders would qualify, specifically those who traveled far from home by sea, such as Jason on the Argo, Captain Nemo on the Nautilus, or the various pirate Servants like Blackbeard on the Queen Anne’s Revenge. 

I don’t imagine a ship is a hard requirement here, though, and even someone traveling on foot would probably qualify if they went far enough. The journey itself rather than the mode of transportation is most likely the deciding factor here. People who embarked on epic quests like King Arthur and his knights in search of the Holy Grail or Gilgamesh in search of immortality might qualify by this definition, though again it might depend on how far from home they had to travel. I was actually planning to use the Wandering Jew here to fit that concept, but he’s already a canon character in Requiem, so I don’t feel right using him.

Sinbad the Sailor: 

Roc- Sinbad summons a giant bird by removing his turban, which Sinbad wraps around the Roc’s leg to use it for transportation or command it to attack enemies with its talons, beak, or boulders; this qualifies Sinbad for Rider class. 

Aspidochelone- a Reality Marble where both Sinbad and a target are stranded on an island, which is in reality a whale; should either combatant make too much noise, start a fire, damage the island, or otherwise alert it to their presence, the whale will submerge, crushing them under the waves; the Reality Marble can be dissipated by killing Sinbad in time, and the sinking can be survived with flight, Skills or Noble Phantasms related to survival or water, or a sufficient Luck stat. 

By Fortune and Fate- as Sinbad was able to survive the many disasters he attracted and subsequently accumulate so many treasures either by coincidence or the misfortune of others, Sinbad is able to survive in even the unlikeliest of circumstances, and defeated Servants will leave behind their Noble Phantasms (if applicable) for Sinbad to claim as his own, though they will generally be weakened. 

Sinbad’s Armaments include a bow and arrow (Archer), a scimitar (Saber), and the Cyclops’ two iron spits (Lancer).

Thorfinn Karlsefni: 

Vinland- Thorfinn creates a Reality Marble of a tranquil village, wherein he offers food and drink to an enemy Servant in exchange for laying down their arms; should they take the offer, the opposing Servant will gain an increase in their stats in exchange for becoming an ally to Thorfinn until the final battle of the Holy Grail War; should they refuse, the two will commence battle immediately, with the enemy Servant suffering a stat decrease. 

Thor’s Boon- the beached whale that sustained Thorfinn’s crew through the winter, eating its meat heals Thorfinn’s wounds and can even sustain his mana supply should something happen to his Master. The whale has no direct use in combat, though a sufficiently strong Servant may be able to lift it and wield it as a blunt object. As a carcass, it can potentially spread illness to Servants in the form of a stat decrease, which would be especially potent in Christian Servants.

Skraeling Bull- Thorfinn summons a bull that goes on a rampage and instills a strong urge to retreat in enemies without sufficiently strong mental fortitude; natives of the land the bull is summoned in will have much greater difficulty resisting the urge to retreat.

If Thorfinn is summoned on the east coast of Canada, where Vinland is believed to be located, his stats dramatically increase and all of his Noble Phantasms rank up

Ponce de Leon: 

Fountain of Youth- entering the waters of the fountain allows de Leon to recover from any wound so long as he still has mana; drinking the water separately from the fountain allows for healing of any non-fatal wound.

Lemuel Gulliver: 

Adventure- aboard the ship that brought Gulliver to (at least one of) his various destinations, Gulliver can direct or randomly spin the helm to face the ship towards one of them; Lilliput- enemy Servants are swarmed by the tiny Lilliputians; Brobdingnag- enemies are attacked by giants; Balnibarbi- enemies are attacked by stones dropped from the floating island of Laputa or Laputa falls upon them; Glubbdubdrib- Gulliver visits a non-classed necromancer who allows him to consult with spirits, generally for the sake of learning more about other Servants; Houyhnhnm-Land- Servants are trampled by a stampede of talking horses or attacked by a ravenous pack of deformed, human-like Yahoos. 

Yahoos With the Gift of Speech- a passive Noble Phantasm, Gulliver’s disdainful view of humans causes humans and Servants of human origin in his vicinity to begin to lose intelligence and reason (with the exception of his own Master); Servants that are less human, such as being partially or completely of Divine, monstrous, mechanical, or bestial origin, suffer a smaller decrease based on how little humanity they have.

Dorothy Gale: 

Silver Shoes/Ruby Slippers- grants Dorothy the ability to instantly travel wherever she wishes as well as granting protection from harm; though the ruby variant is more well known, the shoes were originally silver in the novels, thus allowing Dorothy to change them to their original silver to hide her identity, though invoking Ruby Slippers as the True Name grants her greater magic on account of their infamy. 

Tin-Man/Scarecrow/Cowardly Lion- Dorothy can summon any of her companions as non-classed Servants. 

Toto- though she generally won’t use him, Dorothy’s dog can exit her basket to engage in combat; he can also speak to Dorothy to give advice.

Chicxulub Impactor (personification of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs; also qualifies for Foreigner): 

Alvarez Hypothesis- Chicxulub summons an asteroid to crush their target; officially, this is an Anti-Planet Noble Phantasm, but if summoned through the Holy Grail, its power is actually limited to either Anti-Army or Anti-Fortress to prevent global destruction. Fragments of the full impactor can be broken off to be used as Armaments without invoking its True Name, and may be used to change the impactor’s area of effect.

[Note: I also considered Robinson Crusoe, Doctor Dolittle and Don Quixote, but I decided against them because while they are all known for voyages and journey, I felt they were either potentially better suited for other classes or just weren’t as interesting as other options. I may add them in here later, but I generally try to limit these posts to about five or six Heroes. I also considered Phileas Fogg and Dante Alighieri, but I’ve already used both of them in a previous post and I didn’t want to use any repeats if I could help it. All of these Heroes that I ignored are perfectly viable, I just didn’t take the time to put their Noble Phantasms in this post.]

10 most read authors From @books-on-a-wire‘s post, there is a feature in Goodreads which shows your most read authors (as shelved in your collections).

Rex Stout 46 Yep, this would be from when I ploughed through his Nero Wolfe & Archie Goodwin books, many years ago now. I did recently read a pastiche by Robert Goldsborough, Murder in E Minor, which did a good job of capturing the feel of the books as best I remember. It has me tempted to pick out a few of the old books and revisit. My only other contact with Nero and Archie in recent memory was the TV series starring Timothy Hutton.

Elizabeth Peters 29 OK, if you add the seven books written under the name Barabara Michaels, plus her two non-fiction Egyptology books written under her real name of Barbara Mertz, this number jumps to 38. The bulk of that 29 is from a couple of years ago, when I managed to read through her entire Amelia Peabody series. (And having done that, a project for the new year may be revisiting that series as well, but at a slower pace.) The rest would be the Vicky Bliss books, a couple of Jacqueline Kirby’s, and some standalones.

Ellis Peters 24 Another one of fond memory. Just took the last Cadfael book off the shelf and was astonished to see it was published twenty-four years ago this month. It doesn’t seem that long. It’s starting to look like 2019 will be the year of the rereads... Hmm. But 24... Okay, that has to include one collection of short stories, another gorgeous hardcover that contains the text of the first two Cadfael novels, along with a section of text and photos related to the world of the books, and one book from her other mystery series... Aha! The George Felse one! (Had to look it up.) Throw in her A Bloody Field by Shrewsbury, written as Edith Pargeter, and this number gets bumped up to 25.

Agatha Christie 22 This one is a mix of rereading, and encountering some of other of her books for the first time, and is of recent origin. Didn’t get to too many this year, just Sleeping Murder (unless I sneak in one or two before the end of the year), but it’s been fun to go back and rediscover her. She holds up much better than first anticipated. Thanks has to go to the television adaptations, especially Poirot and Marple, and that 10th Doctor episode about Agatha’s infamous disappearance, for bringing me back into the Christie fold.

Martha Grimes 17 This is all the Richard Jury and Melrose Plant mysteries. Except it should be 19. Maybe I never recorded a couple of them? Will have to go and check later. And there are still four or five more to go. I like the first batch of the series better than some of the later books, but the characters are always such good company that flaws in the stories can be forgiven. A few of those first books have been reread so many times they’re starting to fall apart.

Douglas Preston 17 First, that should be Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I haven’t as yet read any of their solo novels. Second, and I had to check this, I cannot believe that number is real. (It is.) The bloom has gone off the rose and all that, but I can remember when it was a thrill to get my hands on the latest Agent Pendergast. 

John D. MacDonald 15 This would be the Travis McGee series, which I haven’t visited in quite awhile now. Someday I will resume and get back to where I started ages and ages ago, The Dreadful Lemon Sky, and then proceed to the last books in the series. No idea how Travis holds up in the 21st century, but hopefully any of his 1960s ‘sins’ aren’t so glaring they can’t be forgiven. 

Janet Evanovich 15 It kind of floors me that the Stephanie Plum series is up to twenty-five books at this point, not counting some sidetrip books that I never got around to having a look at. Make no mistake, when I first picked up One For the Money back in the day, I was happy to get on the Stephanie Plum train and stay there for a long time. Sometime around book eight or nine, though, the magic started to fade, and I hopped off for good at book fifteen. It was a treat while it lasted, and some of those first books got multiple readings, so that’s in no way a bad thing. 

Mary Stewart 14 Yes! Okay, four of these would be her Arthurian trilogy + her Mordred novel, where she did the impossible and made me sympathize with him. Then I discovered she had also written a batch of gothic romance/romantic suspense novels, and could not get my hands on them fast enough. There are still a couple of titles missing from my collection, and I have yet to give Thunder On the Right a second chance, but she is one of those authors that is as close to a sure bet as you can get. 

Robert Crais 13 This would be his Elvis Cole & Joe Pike series of private eye thrillers. I’ve been reading this one in a roundabout fashion for awhile now. Started with the first two, The Monkey’s Raincoat and Stalking the Angel, and then jumped ahead to L.A. Requiem, and fell into this pattern of reading one of the older titles, and then one of the newer ones, and finally got caught up in the timestream last year (although I’m a few recent books behind now). The climaxes are usually action-packed shoot-’em-ups that I tend to skim through, but that’s my only complaint. Well, and that we never get enough of the cat who loves Elvis and Joe and hates everyone else.

Honorable mentions: Charles Todd, the mother and son team behind the Ian Rutledge mysteries (shell-shocked Scotland Yard detective just back from the Great War, haunted by the battlefield and one particular soldier). Haven’t read their Bess Crawford books yet, but hope to soon. Victoria Holt & Nora Roberts, at nine books each. Victoria, alas, does not hold up well, but I’m still good with Nora. Rhys Bowen comes in with eight books; that would be four Molly Murphys, and four Lady Georgianas. I like Molly, but Lady Georgie is my favorite. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle also comes it at eight. And Amanda Quick, Dorothy Sayers, David Eddings, and Lauren Willig all clock in at six. Willig will soon be seven; and Amanda Quick/Jayne Ann Krentz is likely to increase by several volumes in the new year.
