scd<p>Been hitting the local semi-annual library sale a few times this weekend, and have been working on some family collections. The Dune shelf is now overflowing, and the 1960s/1970s Dorothy Sayers paperback collection is on its way. <a href="https://assemblag.es/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://assemblag.es/tags/librarysale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>librarysale</span></a> <a href="https://assemblag.es/tags/dune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dune</span></a> <a href="https://assemblag.es/tags/sayers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sayers</span></a></p>

Christina Dongowski<p>John Dickson <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Carr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Carr</span></a> ist eigentlich ein Überklassiker des <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/GoldenAge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoldenAge</span></a> Krimis, aber wie fast alle Autoren des Genres kennt man den als deutschsprachige Krimileserin nicht mehr (in UK ist es ein bissle anders, aber nicht sehr.) Ich arbeite mit Hilfe der Reihe in British Library Publishing gerade das ganze Genre jenseits von <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Christie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Christie</span></a> und <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Sayers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sayers</span></a> auf. Carr habe ich noch nicht gelesen (der ist Spezialist für Locked-Room-<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Mysteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mysteries</span></a>, die finde ich nicht so spannend), vielleicht wird das mein erster.</p>
