Look, this series is totally adorable and this book in particular is really fun. It's one of those that comes close enough to great that the parts that fall short are more frustrating than they shold probably be because you're so mad it isn't perfect. I was too harsh in this episode, but only because it was sooo close to ideal.

I'd be lying if I said this episode was anything other than Laine fangirling over Amelia Peabody and squealing about how much fun this novella is. Sethos-coded lost all meaning because it was said too many times.

We were both very charmed by this mystery novel and can't help speculating on the future romantic turns. What does "cozy" mean to you?

This book provided a moment of light in a dark world. We will be immediately consuming everything that Jenna Bigelow puts out for the foreseeable future.

Meg and Alex are joined by Olivia Waite to discuss For My Lady's Heart, and all I could think of was "a little sincerity is a dangerous thing, a great deal of it is absolutely fatal."

Don't you miss the days before museums had things like security or glass cases?
