In which Rolanni has candy

[rolanni]

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions of things to read; if life were otherwise, I'd do nothing but order in books and curl up on the sofa for the next four or five years. So much to choose from.

The filter in this case is the popular book holdings of Miller Library. I was very sorry that they haven't got Kerry Greenwood, which really plucked my "oh, they sound like the thing" chord.

However, I have here on my desk a satisfying haul, based in part on your input:

A Matter of Class, Mary Balogh
Strange Bedpersons, Jennifer Crusie
Rumpole Misbehaves, John Mortimer
The Messenger, Jan Burke
Get Real, Donald Westlake
Shinju, Laura Joh Rowland

I also want to thank all those who submitted suggestions. I turned up a completely different list of delectables than Rolanni. I enjoyed reading _Quarter Share_ (kindle version) last night, and have plans to hunt down the Detective Inspector Chen series (not available in eBooks.)

Baen Webscriptions lists Liz Williams as an author but then doesn't find any books by her. The first four of the Chen books were published by Night Shade, I don't know what's happened to them now but the next two are booked to be published by Morrigan. As far as I know none of them are currently available in electronic format at all, except that she is making some short stories in that universe available by direct subscription (see her post here (http://mevennen.livejournal.com/810475.html?style=mine) but note that she said there that maximum subscriptions were almost reached).

Turns out Night Shade didn't have rights in hand to sell ebooks of the Chen series. So that is why she is listed but they are no longer available. Here is the link about the problem she had http://mevennen.livejournal.com/777134.html
and then SWFA chimed in since she wasn't the only one this hit. http://www.sfwa.org/2010/07/a-note-to-sfwa-members-regarding-night-shade-books/
