Apr. 7th, 2014 02:30 pmGirlsown people who haven't seen it before might be interested in this article about Tim Kennemore, from the mid 1980s. I had a sudden urge to see if she was likely to be writing anything else, after the lovely surprise (to me) appearance of Sabine and Circle of Doom decades after her first books were published.

Twitter told me that the latest episode of Endeavor is set in a girls' boarding school, so although I do not think I have much interest in the series in general, I am looking forward to seeing that.

GGBP are reprinting "Mystery" with a new novella fill-in about Robin becoming a nun, and have a collection of new CS short stories. Does anyone know anything about either of those? I also see that GGBP are republishing Phyllis Matthewman, so I should make another effort to offload mine.

I like the new availability very much, but I do also miss the thrill of collecting books when it was all pouncing on astounding bargains and wishing.
