It being Sunday and a very sunny warm one at that, I want to offer you a special deal. I have in the last months bought and read two very interesting mystery series:
The Maisie Dobbs mystery series (4 paperbacks), by Jacqueline Winspear
and,
The Erast Fandorin mystery series (4 paperbacks), by Boris Akunin
The former takes place post WWI London and the later towards the end of the 19th century, in settings all over the European continent and beyond. I find the development of both protagonists many faceted and, as far as I can judge, historically authentic. I also enjoyed that all the books were interesting piece of writing in their own right.
If any one is interested in reading one of the series, please let me know and I will send you the four paperbacks by pony express. It doesn’t matter where you live, the books are light and if you are willing to wait for the package to arrive, I’d be delighted to pass them on. The only condition to the offer is you pass on the books after you have finished.
After note: Nomad Son has been sorting through his bookshelves yesterday and today. He is using the program GuruLib to aid him in this endeavour. He has just put in the first 100 books, but I think it sort of gives you a sense of why such a program might be nice to use.
I very much like "he has put in the first 100 books" which implies there are hundreds more.
ReplyDeleteSadly I'm not interested in any more books right now since there are about a dozen sitting on my desk waiting for me to read them (one has been there for over a year).
