She left me her books when she passed, and I was looking forward to reading her copies of these books, but her husband sold the books before I got them.

It's always great when an author, or other celebrity, is interviewed by a real friend not afraid to reveal the connection and ask more unusual connections. I can't wait to get back to a real live festival...maybe next year in NM.

These days it's so easy to learn about new book and new-to-me authors that I just can't read everything I want to read. Hard to believe that a few decades ago, I was always searching for a book I wanted to read...and actually worried that I wouldn't find something.

This doesn't sound like one of those series best read in order, so I plan to do some picking and choosing as I work more of them in to my schedule.

I love whenever King comes to The Poisoned Pen. She and Barbara Peters are good friends and have gone traveling to places like Japan and Transylvania together which makes for a very fun and interesting event.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-2928738305384417252021-10-25T06:12:24.905-05:002021-10-25T06:12:24.905-05:00I followed this series for years, but it has been ...I followed this series for years, but it has been a while since I've read a Mary Russell. It would be fun to catch up on the books I've missed. I think the last Laurie King I read was introducing a new series. jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-39376133282183597752021-10-24T12:22:54.937-05:002021-10-24T12:22:54.937-05:00So true!So true!Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-40896157287862528542021-10-23T23:40:41.227-05:002021-10-23T23:40:41.227-05:00My response is like Lark's.

I have read and enjoyed 3 books from King's Kate Martinelli series, set in San Francisco, and Touchstone, another historical mystery.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-79775784793261415422021-10-23T22:13:29.353-05:002021-10-23T22:13:29.353-05:00I haven't read this one.

One of them has Kim, from the book by Rudyard Kipling, in it... not that I've read that one yet. My favourite so far was book 4, The Moor, which is set on Dartmoor, the setting for The Hound of the Baskervilles of course.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-50362883351218008652021-10-23T16:38:56.590-05:002021-10-23T16:38:56.590-05:00This is one author I always meant to try and never...This is one author I always meant to try and never have.
