New Vicky Bliss!
December 15, 2007 by bookdaze
Elizabeth Peters has her winter newsletter up on her website, and it says that a new Vicky Bliss book, “The Laughter of Dead Kings”, is out in September 2008 *happy dance*
Sounds vaguely Egyptian, doesn’t it? I still have to track down the fifth VB book, and since I’ve a thing about reading a series in order, I better make sure I find it before next September!
So, fantastic news - though I admit if it was a new Amelia Peabody, I’d be even happier…
That is great news! I’d be happy if it was Amelia as well, but I still have a few books to read in that series, but I am almost up to date with the Vicky Bliss books! well…I have 3 books to go but it is more manageable than the 10 or so I have left of Amelia if that makes sense!
I *love* her Amelia books, and they become so much better as the series progresses (not that they weren’t good at the beginning!). Having said that, I’m becoming quite fond of Vicky, and I really like the art history angle - and I’m just happy that a new EP is coming out
[...] So, imagine my reaction when I saw this news. [...]
I must admit, although I have enormous love for Amelia, I almost love the Vicky Bliss novels more! How can you not love John Smythe? Yummy!
And while a new Amelia book is always welcome, it has been more than 10 years since she published the last Vicky book, making this huge news. I recommend you read Night Train to Memphis, if that’s the one you haven’t read, asap. Seriously the best one and you’ll be glad you don’t have to wait so long for a new one.
