The Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters is about as close to romance as I can get. 😂 I‘m using this title for the “Hearts and Flowers” prompts for the February #RoaringWolf Reading Challenge, since it did contain a sweet romance amid the murder, adventure and comedy. The Emersons are back in Luxor and the specter of The Master Criminal (not so dead after all maybe?) arises to haunt the family and their archeological adventures.

CarolynM *There is no mention of this visit in Manuscript H. The editor spent many hours searching for it in vain. 🤣🤣🤣 2y

These are my two #Roll100 books for February 2022. I‘m fairly sure I will manage the Elizabeth Peters‘ title. Crossing my fingers I can also swing the NK Jemisin. 🤞😬

CarolynM Oooh!! The Ape Who Guards the Balance is a really good one, and it features my favourite footnote ever🤣 Enjoy! 2y
Ruthiella @CarolynM You intrigue me! 😃 I‘m super interested to see how the second generation develop since that was a big part of the last book. 2y

I always enjoy Amelia Peabody's narrative voice but it's been a while since I've read some of these so I didn't always get the references to earlier instalments - especially as the footnotes were missing from this edition.

No one waltzes more magnificently than Emerson; the only problem is that he insists on waltzing no matter what sort of music is being played.

I love listening to these audiobooks. The narrator does a great job with the different voices. I slept longer than I intended to, but am ready to devote the day to the printed (or recorded) word!
