Friday’s Forgotten Books

Some Must Watch--Ethel Lina White Today I’m over at Patti Abbott’s website, posting for her recurring segment, ‘Friday’s Forgotten Books.’

Hope you’ll pop over and say hi and read my review of Some Must Watch, also known as The Spiral Staircase, by Ethel Lina White.  There are three of us writing on three different books for the post, so you’ll need to scroll down for mine.

This is a great segment to be involved in, and very popular, for those of you interested in making different kinds of appearances on blogs.  It’s a fun place to visit and a great site to pick up some recommendations on little-known books to read.  For a listing of some of the reviews this year, click over to this site.

    You are everywhere, Elizabeth! You go, girl.

    Of the two titles for this book, I’m not sure which I like best.

    I enjoyed reading the reviews! Elizabeth, where do you find the time? Your organizational skills astound me. I love the idea of “Forgotten Books”.

    Jane–It’s pretty cool. Most of the books there are new to me.

    Margot–Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the review. The book is great…it doesn’t even have a really dated feel to it. And I love mysteries set in remote locations with only a few suspects. I’ll look forward to your Forgotten Book review on Oct. 29!

    Karen–I’m dragging a little today, so I think I might need some caffeinated bottled energy right about now. :)

    Helen–“Some Must Watch” is probably better. It alludes to the long night where the trapped potential victims take turns guarding against a killer.

    Sounds fun. I wonder if any of my favorite books might be on there, so I’m going to have to visit. :]

    Cool! I’ll have to go check it out.

    Elspeth–Well, once I got past the small layer of dust coating everything in my house… :) I seemed to find more time!

    Marvin–Enjoy!

    Tara–A few of mine are over there. I love the idea (and actually, a lot of them can be found still on Amazon if you do some digging. Or the library.)

    Great idea for a site. Must check if any of those books jogs the memory – I know I have loved more books than I remember.
