Something New and Something Old

Hello,

Just wanted to share one of the books that I will be reading in the near future. YEAH!

FINAL AMELIA BOOK DUE TO PUBLISH IN 2017! 

WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT HARPER-COLLINS HAS NOW ACCEPTED A FINISHED VERSION OF “THE PAINTED QUEEN” – a manuscript partially written by Elizabeth Peters and finished by her dear friend, mystery writer Joan Hess, with help from another dear friend, Egyptologist Salima Ikram. The book goes back to fill us in about the Emersons’ activities during the excavation season when the famed Nefertiti bust was discovered. The projected publication date is July 2017!

So that was the new and now this is the old. I found some lovely illustrations that fit nicely with this book. They are fashion plates from 1912-1913 the time period in which the book is set. I can totally picture Amelia and Nefret wearing these lovely dresses.

My goal is now to go back and reRead the series in order of the Archaeological Season in which the story takes place.
