I used to read alot of Dorothy Cannell (did I spell it right?)and Dorothy Sayers when I was in high school. Your blog brings back fond memories of those books. I think that I will start reading them again. I always liked British authors.

Violette, I wonder if you will like those authors as much now as you did then. That's exactly how I feel about Victoria Holt…I have wondered if I would like her novels as much now as I did years ago, when I read them at my grandmother's house. And, yes, you spelled it right!

By the way, I enjoyed perusing your Hand Quilting site…

I am reading my last Miss Silver mystery (I've collected them from local bookstores and Amazon and a British site). I have loved them! I need another good author. I am really interested in wholesome reading. Does not have to be a mystery, but well written. (I loved Green Dolphin Street.) I will check out your "cozy mystery" authors at the library. Any other suggestions? Thank you.
