Woo 2 tags in one photo 👍 And one of my fave series! The first two were published in the '90s. Now I'm just waiting and waiting for the Winds of Winter....⌛️🤔

Better Than Life | Grant Naylor
post image

Better Than Life was the last book Rob Grant & Doug Naylor wrote together as Grant Naylor. In the mid-90s they parted ways & each wrote their own Red Dwarf novel. I haven't read these for awhile, but I recall thinking that alone, neither's writing could achieve the same magic they'd accomplished together. I think I liked Backwards better than Last Human because part of it was based on scripts they wrote together. #Publishedinthe90s #Photoadaynov16

Dragon I always meant to try chicken vindaloo 🐉 7y

I totally fell off the bandwagon. My mind has been elsewhere this week. I will catch up!! This was not my favorite book, but if you have the chance to see the performance, it is incredible #publishedinthe90s #photoadaynov16

GypsyKat I agree with you. I read this and Son of a Witch. The books are well done, but very dark. However, I'm IN LOVE with the live show! Going to see it again in a couple of months. 👍🏼 7y

The Secret History | Donna Tartt
post image

Yes, I'm 1 day behind on #photoadaynov16. ☺️

Finding books #publishedinthe90s was a little tougher than I thought. Every since I started buying & collecting books seriously in 2016, I've noticed most of the ones I own are from the 21st century. It makes sense because I prefer modern & contemporary books to older ones, but there are tons of great books written in the second half of the 20th century. Here are two good ones from the 90s.

Post-Mortem | Patricia Cornwell
post image

#photoadaynov16 #day11 #publishedinthe90s This was published in 1990 and I've been collecting her since. Her early work anyway, much of her latest work is not good, I don't know what happened but it happens to a lot of writers who continue a series past where they should. But her first 10-11 Scarpetta novels are fantastic. As you can see, this one has been much loved since I bought it 26yrs ago.

BookInMyHands My aunt got me hooked on this series- it was so good for awhile, and then it really wasn't. 7y
erzascarletbookgasm I remember reading the first five or six of this series and enjoyed them very much. 7y
sisilia Oowww I was a Scarpetta fan, too... until Cornwell changed to third person point of view and it went downhill from there. 7y

sisilia Cruel and Unusual is the crazy one. I remember I read it in one sitting and I finished it at 4 in the morning. I couldn't sleep afterwards, was even too scared to go to the bathroom by myself 😜 7y
TrishB I agree, I carry on reading them hoping the good stuff will return. Sadly it hasn't yet. 7y
JulieAnn I agree! I loved them until Blow Fly and then it went extremely downhill. And why does Lucy age but Scarpetta doesn't??? 7y
Dragon I agree @JulieAnn I just read Depraved Heart and was trying to think how old Kay is , wasn't she around 50 in the first books? She was a lawyer and a physician with a specialty, how many years of schooling? 7y
Dragon I think you are so right @Lizpixie about her early and later books. 7y
minkyb I totally agree @Lizpixie I vividly remember how excited I was to read a new Scarpetta. I haven't kept up in quite some time. 7y
JulieAnn @Dragon Yes! And Lucy was like 10 in the first book and in her late 20s when I stopped reading them. Yet Kay was still in her early 50s or so when she started out in her later 40s I don't think it ever states her age exactly but it's a topic of conversation between me and my sister all the time. We find it very amusing. I don't know about the schooling. Maybe she started early or flew through because she's super intelligent. 7y
