ETA : I don't think my post 'claiming' this was ever recorded
Deeds of the Disturber (Amelia Peabody #5), by Elizabeth Peters, finished 3/22/22 ★★★★


You are right Barb! I did completely miss you claiming this. I will get you updated with both books.

Lowcountry Boondoggle (Liz Talbot #9), by Susan M. Boyer, finished 3/26 ★★★★



My fingers are crossed with you. It's a fun series. I do know she has a new one coming out this year. At least it's mentioned on her web site.


Love this series, too! I had read a couple years or so ago that she was ending the series, but then another book came out. So I'm happy to know that yet another is coming! I'm caught up so I'm ready.

This is the quote from her website: There are currently ten books in the Liz Talbot Series. Liz Talbot and Nate Andrews will have a new case in 2022.

Killer Jam (Dewberry Farm #1), by Karen MacInerney, finished 3/28/22 ★★★.5

Treasure Hunt #7
Votive Clay Figurines from sanctuary of Agia Irini on display at Cyprus Museum, Nicosia.
LAT 35.170250
LONG 33.358700

Most of us are familiar with the famous clay army of terra-cotta soldiers in China but they are not the only impressive terra-cotta figurines in the world. On the island of Cyprus, in a small town in the district of Nicosia, 2000 votive clay figurines were discovered in 1929 by a Swedish archeological team. What a treasure!
These ceremonial figurines were found in the the Sanctuary of Agia Irini, a cult religious site of an unknown deity. Thought to be gifts to the deity, the figurines were still in their original positions when discovered, facing an altar and a cult stone. Dating back to the 6th century BCE, the figurines range from life-size to miniature, depict priests with bull-masks, sphinxes, minotaurs, centaurs, bulls and warriors on chariots.
Half of the 2000 are on display as they were found in the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia. The other half can be viewed at the Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities Museum in Stockholm, Sweden.

I'm claiming Latitude O with The Narrowboat Summer Published 2020


P.S. That was another cool treasure you just shared!
