As you may be able to see from these photos, I'm a crime fan. Not a hardboiled-rainy-night-broad-in-a-red-dress-enters-your-office-crime-fan, or a psycho-leaving-entrails-over-a-stricken-city-crime-fan, but more a something-fishy-in-a-stately-home-is-solved-without-bloodshed-crime fan. The problem being that these are the books I read the most. So, with this blog, I'm attempting to alternate. One non-genre novel, followed by one (most likely second hand penguin classic) "golden age of crime" novel. If you're fans of the queens (Christie, Sayers, Marsh, Allingham, Tey, Heyer, Mitchell etc) or the kings (Dickson Carr, Innes, Crispin, er Queen.... et al) then stay tuned.
I'll also, depending on how long I manage to keep this up for, probably avoid the non-fiction and graphic novels as that adds another three bookcases to my challenge! Who knows? Maybe by the time I've finished the fiction shelves, I'll be champing at the bit, desperate to read more and write more, and re-reads of Alan Moore may become necessary fodder.
