While She Knits - Book Recs for MWT

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

First, a reminder.  Megan will be at the Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in San Diego on Saturday, July 13 and afterwards will wander down to the Starbucks next door to meet up with any available fans.  Read all about it here.

And Megan needs our help!  From MWT:

The people at Mysterious Galaxy have said that they will set up a table of reading recommendations for Thief fans while I am there.  Can you ask Sounis what they would recommend that they think Mysterious Galaxy might have in stock?  They specialize in Mystery and Fantasy and Science Fiction, so they are likely to have all the Bujold for instance, but not our favorites like Sutcliff and Aiken and probably no Diana Wynne Jones.

So, ideas?  What are your favorite titles that other Gen lovers might like?

Mary-j-59 here, chiming in for my sister - I think we've both read "Memory in a House" and we've been to Green Knowe! A lifelong dream for both of us, and it was not a disappointment! If you ever have the chance, you should go. The manor is an incredibly beautiful place.

As to your question, many people visit the Manor (which is mentioned in A Piece of Justice) specially to see L.M. Boston's quilts. The mystery focuses on quilts and quilting, and on a brilliant mathematician whose work on patterns is stolen. That mathematician is a tribute to Boston. If I'm remembering rightly (I'm sure Deirdre will correct me if I'm wrong), Diana Boston confirmed that this character was meant to be her mother-in-law. Jill Paton Walsh and L.M. Boston were friends.

Sorry it took so long to answer this! If you do read A Piece of Justice, I'd love to know what you think of it.
