So if you want to read the Amelia Peabodies
asked me about this, so I thought I’d do a longer post on the topic of which books in the Amelia Peabodies are more skippable than others if you want to read the series but are finding it slow going. Book 1, Crocodile on the Sandbank. Not optional. After all, it’s how Amelia and Emerson…

Book Log #64: The Last Camel Died at Noon, by Elizabeth Peters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars You really need to point at Book 6 of the Amelia Peabodies, The Last Camel Died at Noon, as one of the pivotal books of the series–because it’s here that arguably the most important character in the entire cast (aside from, of course, the Emersons themselves) is introduced. The…

Book Log #63: The Deeds of the Disturber, by Elizabeth Peters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars In a series that’s famous for being primarily set in Egypt, The Deeds of the Disturber, Book 5 of the Amelia Peabodies, is quite distinctive in that it’s set in England during the off-season, when the Emerson family is between digs. It also has the good fortune of being…

Book Log #62: Lion in the Valley, by Elizabeth Peters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars If you pick and choose only a selection of the Amelia Peabody books to read, one of your choices must indisputably be Lion in the Valley, book 4 of the series. This introduces one of the most critical recurring characters to show up all throughout the books: as Amelia…

Draft Five, I am serving you NOTICE
It is ON. Oh my yes. Well, not too impressively quite yet given that I’ve been smacked upside the head with a cold all weekend, but in the state of mind I’ve been in, it’s oddly easier to do a word count reduction pass than it is to write actual new content. Which means of…
