This is my second P.G. Wodehouse book. Apparently, I read My Man Jeeves during the COVID-19 pandemic, and maybe it was a case of the right book at the time, but I liked it much better than The Adventures of Sally, whose main character just annoyed me.

For option 5, would Foundation work? The series name is Valdemar: Collegium Chronicles #1.

Does the book you read need to be written under the pseudonym? I'm thinking about Agatha Christie, who uses Mary Westmacott for books other than her mysteries. Would I need to read one of the romances, or could I read a book written under Christie?

Sounds well thought out to me.

So I finally have motivation to read the Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy this summer. I can use two of the books for this task, and the third for 30.3 - MPG Medieval!

Thanks for the suggestions! You guys are the best.

Help - I don't read horror, does anyone have cozy mystery type suggestions?

Yea, my fewest ratings are my grandson's book, which I have slated to read each season since it was published. Looks like this might be the one.

For initials, do they need to be in the same order or just the same two letters?

Would One Death at a Time work?
