Nice deployment of “madcap”. I need to add “madcap” to my everyday vocabulary. Please report back on your Elizabeth Peters adventures! I’m very curious to know whether you manage to enjoy her; if so, I get to say a big I TOLD YOU SO to my mother. :p

Really? Well, I will say that reading something collectively contributes substantially to one’s enjoyment of it, or at least it makes you pay more attention to the good things about the book. Get your book club to read it! That is my advice.

I can’t wait to try both of your recommendations. I love witty, madcap adventures and gothic spoofs so I really feel that I should love Elizabeth Peters!

Everyone else has either given up or found it too much of a slog.

You are Gin Jenny. Jenny is Whiskey Jenny. Sorry ’bout that.

And a delight to read The Luminaries. Everything is delightful. And regarding your tag, I will do a bracket for the Tournament of Books.
