She said I was doing it just to be PC and I was so aggravated because that character was shaped by librarians I know and love who happen to be LGBT. I agree with you that we have a responsibility to reflect the world we live in and I just love your Hugo Marston series for doing exactly that.Jenn McKinlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214926031147370862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-38413744983329361962017-08-22T13:23:11.178-04:002017-08-22T13:23:11.178-04:00These genre labels don't work too well anyway....These genre labels don't work too well anyway. I never know where I am going to find a particular author in a bookstore.

Hugo is such a nice guy and I think he needs his world to be shaken up from time to time. So, go read a romance, Hugo! I grew up reading Helen MacInnes.

I have somehow missed Mark and his series completely, so I have put The Bookseller on my TBR list. (I always like to go back and start at the beginning -- it's so much more fun to watch series characters evolve over time, I think.) Can't wait for this little virtual visit to France. And I look forward to getting to The Sorbonne Affair in due time, as well.<br /><br />As to the genre snobbery, I think it is so silly! There is much that is sold as "literary fiction" that I find lacking in literary value. And I defy anyone to read a Louise Penny novel (just as one example -- I could name many) and tell me the writing is anything less than literary quality!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292993485984273172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-4224544770491934112017-08-22T13:13:37.726-04:002017-08-22T13:13:37.726-04:00How big is that suitcase, Kaye?How big is that suitcase, Kaye?Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-23596634406194980392017-08-22T12:46:34.322-04:002017-08-22T12:46:34.322-04:00I couldn't read about the books too closely in...I couldn't read about the books too closely in the post, as I have catching up to do.
