“I admit we ought to have told you about the papyrus earlier,” she said. “but that’s over and done with, and we know how you feel, and you know how we feel, so let us not waste time shouting at one another.” “Now see here, young lady,” Emerson began. “Yes, Professor darling, we all know you never shout.”

Deeds of the Disturber (Amelia Peabody #5) by Elizabeth Peters #BookReview #CozyMystery #Egyptology #HistoricalMystery #AudiobookReview #BarbaraRosenblat

Who, or what, killed the night watchman at the #BritishMuseum's mummy exhibit? That's something #AmeliaPeabody and her husband, #RadcliffeEmerson want to find out. #DeedsoftheDisturber #ElizabethPeters #bookreview #audiobookreview #barbararosenblat

Can fear kill? There are those who believe so, but Amelia Peabody is skeptical. A respected Egyptologist and amateur sleuth, Amelia has foiled felonious schemes from Victoria’s England to the Middle East. And she doubts that it was a Nineteenth-Dynasty mummy’s curse that caused the death of a night watchman in the British Museum. The corpse was found sprawled in the mummy’s shadow; a look of…

JOMP Book Photo Challenge / November / 11 / judged by its cover

I can think of no better book series to highlight than The Amelia Peabody Mysteries by Elizabeth Peters for today's prompt.

These covers just scream adventure, ancient Egyptian intrigue and fun, and I've first stumbled upon this series in my third semester as a literature student in a seminar where we were discussing the portrayal of Egypt in British and American culture and literature.

Set in the Victorian age, The Amelia Peabody Mysteries are neo-victorian books that revolve around the Victorian adventurer and archaeologist Amelia Peabody. She is the definition of a strong, independent woman in a time when that wasn’t exactly the norm.

A lot of the covers feature pyramids, desert landscapes, deadly creatures and ancient tombs — basically all the classic symbols of Egyptology. And that’s exactly what you’re getting in these books. The Amelia Peabody series is set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time when archaeology was booming, and Egypt was the ultimate destination for daring explorers.

Some of the older editions, especially the mass-market paperbacks, have that classic pulp-fiction look with dramatic, almost overly stylized art. They’re fun, they’re dramatic, and they’re a little over the top — but honestly? That’s exactly the tone of these books. They’re adventurous, slightly campy, and totally unafraid to lean into that “larger-than-life” energy.

What I always enjoyed about these books is that it’s not all serious Egyptology and murder mysteries - there’s a delightful undercurrent of humor that makes reading these books a joy.

Furthermore, the tension that builds between Amelia and her love interest Radcliffe Emerson is absolutely adorable. It's a slow-burn romance that develops within the first book of the series, with loads of sass sparkling between them, but I loved how Amelia was never changing herself for the sake of love, but stayed true to her adventurous spirit and passion for Egyptology.

Sadly, I have only three books in my collection yet, but I definitely need to thrift the other books of this series as well!

Nancy (With the Laughing Face) by Frank Sinatra

Sorry, I have really old fashioned taste in music. 

Currently Reading:  I am a voracious reader of fantasy lit and am currently devouring The Last Oracle series by Melissa McShane. I read 2 or 3 books a week so I’m always looking for recs!

Last Movie: Cannot for the life of me remember. I rarely watch movies. 

Craving: Caffeine. I ran out of diet Barq’s. (It’s not so bad once you get used to it.)

What are you wearing right now: A towel. Just got out of the shower. 

How tall are you: 5'3″

Piercings: None. I could never face the pain. I am a coward.

Unrelated Obsession: Uh... I don’t think I’m really into anything else in an obsessive way right now. Before FFXIV I’d say maybe it was Touken Ranbu? Still love me some time traveling anthropomorphic bishonen sword boys. 

Any pets: Nope. I’m not an animal person and my husband and some of my kids have allergies. 

Do you have a crush on anyone: I’m madly in love with my husband always. 

Favourite fictional character: I don’t really pick favorites? I love all kinds of characters. I guess a couple of my faves would be Noloty Malche from Tatakau Shisho and Amelia and Radcliffe Emerson from the Amelia Peabody mystery series.

Another post of book recs for all y'all who aren't familiar with all the awesome stuff written before you were born. Previously I've recommended the Hound and the Falcon Trilogy, Bridge of Birds, Silverlock, Nine Princes in Amber, Lord Valentine's Castle, and Tam Lin (by Pamela Dean.) I am Old and inept at new fangled technology, so I'm not providing links. Get the books from your local library, then buy copies for all your friends! The Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters "Another dead body. Every year it is the same. Every year, another dead body..." "Amelia Peabody, that indomitable product of the Victorian age, embarks on her debut Egyptian adventure armed with unshakable self-confidence, a journal to record her thoughts, and, of course, a sturdy umbrella. On her way to Cairo, Amelia rescues young Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been abandoned by her scoundrel lover. Together the two women sail up the Nile to an archeological site run by the Emerson brothers-the irascible but dashing Radcliffe and the amiable Walter. Soon their little party is increased by one-one mummy that is, and a singularly lively example of the species.

Strange visitations, suspicious accidents, and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn. Now Amelia finds herself up against an unknown enemy-and perilous forces that threaten to make her first Egyptian trip also her last . . ." Titan by John Varley (Book One of the Gaea Trilogy) "It begins with humankind's exploration of a massive satellite orbiting Saturn. It culminates in a shocking discovery: the satellite is a giant alien being. Her name is Gaea. Her awesome interior is mind-boggling—because it is a mind. A mind that calls out to explorers, transforming all who enter." The Phoenix Guards by Steven Brust "Set in the same world as Stephen Brust's beloved Vlad Taltos books, The Phoenix Guards is a fantasy rewrite of The Three Musketeers―a swashbuckling tale of adventure. A thousand years before the birth of Vlad Taltos, the Dragaeran Empire is a hotbed of intrigue, sorcery, intrigue, wild adventure, and intrigue. For those who would be heroes, it is a delightful time to be alive―and an easy place to die. Khaavren of the House of Tiassa is a son of landless nobility, possessor of a good sword and "tolerably well-acquainted with its use." Along with three loyal friends, he enthusiastically seeks out danger and excitement. But in a realm renowned for repartee and betrayals, where power is as mutable as magic, a young man like Khaavren, newly come from the countryside, had best be wary. His life depends on it. And so does the future of Draegara."

Alamut by Judith Tarr "A knight from across the sea, a beleaguered kingdom, a spirit of fire with a deadly secret - Judith Tarr's beloved novel of grand romance and high magic in the age of the Crusades is a classic in the making. Join Prince Aidan, son of a mortal king and an immortal enchantress, and the deathless Assassin Morgiana, in a saga of war and truce, betrayal and honor, hate and love." The Unlikely Ones by Mary Brown "Thing, a young girl who hides beneath a mask, and her handicapped companions--a crow, a toad, a goldfish, and a kitten--set off on a desperate quest to find the Dragon of the Black Mountain, in search of healing and redemption." Tea With the Black Dragon by R. A. MacAvoy "Martha Macnamara knows that her daughter, Elizabeth, is in trouble—she just doesn’t know what kind. Mysterious phone calls from San Francisco at odd hours of the night are the only contact they've had for years. Now, Elizabeth has sent her mother a plane ticket and reserved a room for her at the city’s most luxurious hotel. Yet, since Martha checked in, she still hasn’t been contacted by her daughter, and is feeling lonely, confused, and a little bit worried.   But Martha meets someone else at the hotel: Mayland Long, a distinguished-looking and wealthy Chinese man who is drawn to Martha’s good character and ability to pinpoint the truth of a matter. They become close quickly, and he promises to help her find Elizabeth. Before he can solve the mystery, though, Martha herself disappears—and Mayland realizes that he’s in love with her.   Now, a man whose true nature and identity is unknown to those around him will embark on a potentially dangerous adventure in a city on the verge of exploding with its own sort of magic as technology spreads through the region that will become known as Silicon Valley. An elegant, delightful, and unusual novel that blends ancient myth with modern wizardry, Tea with the Black Dragon is “a small masterpiece, setting a fantasy story against a contemporary background”

You may be certain, dear Reader, that Emerson had not allowed us to neglect our professional activities. I have not reported on them in detail because they produced nothing of interest.

Amelia Peabody in The Ape Who Guards the Balance by Elizabeth Peters

[listening-to-free-audiobooks]

Guardian of the Horizon by Elizabeth Peters (Amelia Peabody #16)

Amelia Peabody and her husband Emerson, along with their son Ramses and foster daughter Nefret, are summoned back to the Lost Oasis, a hidden stronghold in the western desert whose existence they discovered many years ago (in The Last Camel Died At Noon) and have kept secret from the entire world, including their fellow Egyptologists. According to Merasen, the brother of the ruling monarch, their old friend Prince Tarek is in grave danger and needs their help, however it's not until they retrace their steps back to the Oasis, with its strange mixture of Meroitic and Egyptian cultures, that they learn the real reason for their journey. There's no better company on an archaeological expedition than the Father of Curses and the Lady Doctor, their beautiful Anglo-Egyptian ward, and Ramses, the Demon Brother who loves her, as Peters once again demonstrates in the latest historical mystery in this immensely popular series. If you haven't met the indomitable Amelia yet, this intriguing tale is a great place to start!

The Serpent on the Crown by Elizabeth Peters (Amelia Peabody #17)

A priceless relic has been delivered to the Emerson home overlooking the Nile. But more than history surrounds this golden likeness of a forgotten king, for it is said early death will befall anyone who possesses it..

The woman who implores the renowned family of archaeologists and adventurers to accept the cursed statue insists the ill-gotten treasure has already killed her husband. Further, she warns, unless it is returned to the tomb from which it was stolen, more will surely die. With the world finally at peace—and with Egypt's ancient mysteries opened to them once more—Amelia Peabody and her loved ones are plunged into a storm of secrets, treachery, and murder by a widow's strange story and even stranger request. Each step toward the truth reveals a new peril, suggesting this curse is no mere superstition. And the next victim of the small golden king could be any member of the close-knit clan—perhaps even Amelia herself.

Tomb of the Golden Bird by Elizabeth Peters (Amelia Peabody #18)

Convinced that the tomb of the little-known king Tutankhamon lies somewhere in the Valley of the Kings, eminent Egyptologist Radcliffe Emerson and his intrepid wife, Amelia Peabody, seem to have hit a wall. Having been banned forever from the East Valley, Emerson, against Amelia's advice, has tried desperately to persuade Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter to relinquish their digging rights. But Emerson's trickery has backfired, and his insistent interest in the site has made his rivals all the more determined to keep the Emerson clan away.

Powerless to intervene but determined to stay close to the unattainable tomb, the family returns to Luxor and prepares to continue their dig in the less promising West Valley—and to watch from the sidelines as Carter and Carnarvon "discover" the greatest Egyptian treasure of all time: King Tut's tomb. But before their own excavation can get underway, Emerson and his son, Ramses, find themselves lured into a trap by a strange group of villains ominously demanding "Where is he?" Driven by distress—and, of course, Amelia's insatiable curiosity—the Emersons embark on a quest to uncover who "he" is and why "he" must be found, only to discover that the answer is uncomfortably close to home. Now Amelia must find a way to protect her family—and perhaps even her would-be nemesis—from the sinister forces that will stop at nothing to succeed in the nefarious plot that threatens the peace of the entire region.

A River in the Sky by Elizabeth Peters (Amelia Peabody #19)

August 1910. Banned from the Valley of the Kings, Amelia Peabody and husband Emerson are persuaded to follow would-be archaeologist Major George Morley on an expedition to Palestine. Somewhere in this province of the corrupt, crumbling Ottoman Empire—the Holy Land of three religions—Morley is determined to unearth the legendary Ark of the Covenant.

At the request of British Intelligence, Emerson will be keeping an eye on the seemingly inept Morley, believed to be an agent of the Kaiser sent to stir up trouble in this politically volatile land. Amelia hopes to prevent a catastrophically unprofessional excavation from destroying priceless historical finds and sparking an armed protest by infuriated Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Meanwhile, Amelia's headstrong son, Ramses, working on a dig at Samaria, encounters an unusual party of travelers and makes a startling discovery—information that he must pass along to his parents in Jerusalem...if he can get there alive.

The Painted Queen by Elizabeth Peters (Amelia Peabody #20)

Egypt, 1912—Amelia Peabody and her dashing archeologist husband, Radcliffe Emerson, are once again in danger as they search for a priceless, stolen bust of legendary Queen Nefertiti and Amelia finds herself the target of assassins in this long-awaited, eagerly anticipated final installment of Elizabeth Peters’ bestselling, beloved mystery series.

Arriving in Cairo for another thrilling excavation season, Amelia is relaxing in a well-earned bubble bath in her elegant hotel suite in Cairo, when a man with knife protruding from his back staggers into the bath chamber and utters a single word—"Murder"—before collapsing on the tiled floor, dead. Among the few possessions he carried was a sheet of paper with Amelia’s name and room number, and a curious piece of pasteboard the size of a calling card bearing one word: "Judas." Most peculiarly, the stranger was wearing a gold-rimmed monocle in his left eye. It quickly becomes apparent that someone saved Amelia from a would-be assassin—someone who is keeping a careful eye on the intrepid Englishwoman. Discovering a terse note clearly meant for Emerson—Where were you?"—pushed under their door, there can be only one answer: the brilliant master of disguise, Sethos.

But neither assassins nor the Genius of Crime will deter Amelia as she and Emerson head to the excavation site at Amarna, where they will witness the discovery of one of the most precious Egyptian artifacts: the iconic Nefertiti bust. In 1345 B.C. the sculptor Thutmose crafted the piece in tribute to the great beauty of this queen who was also the chief consort of Pharaoh Akhenaten and stepmother to King Tutankhamun. For Amelia, this excavation season will prove to be unforgettable. Throughout her journey, a parade of men in monocles will die under suspicious circumstances, fascinating new relics will be unearthed, a diabolical mystery will be solved, and a brilliant criminal will offer his final challenge... and perhaps be unmasked at last.

Radcliffe Emerson, the irascible husband of fellow archaeologist Amelia Peabody, has earned the nickname “Father of Curses”—and in Mazghunah he demonstrates why. Denied permission to dig at the pyramids of Dahshoor, he and Amelia are resigned to excavating mounds of rubble in the middle of nowhere. But before long Amelia, Emerson, and their son, Ramses, find themselves entangled in The Mummy…
