My pick for #kickassheroines #seasonsreadings2016 is Jacqueline Kirby from a series by Elizabeth Peters. The Kirby books are a little dated, but Jacqueline is all S's - sensual, sensible, scholarly, and scintillating, although she would likely give a derisive sniff, lean back in her chair, and lecture me on how all those words are ridiculous choices. Plus, she's a librarian!
Blueberry I read all of Elizabeth Peters other two series with Vicky Bliss and Amelia Peabody. Loved them both. 8y
SaraRosett I wish there were more books in this series--and the Vicky Bliss series too! :) 8y
PatriciaU @SaraRosett I was so sad when I learned that the author died in 2013. I re-read her books more than any other author. 8y
SaraRosett @PatriciaU: I re-read her books too--and I'm not someone who re-reads lots of books. But I go back to hers again and again. Glad she was prolific! 😀 8y
