God, you guys, I’m reading this series by Elizabeth Peters about this woman called Vicky Bliss (I know, right) - she’s a hot but super-intelligent art historian who by night investigates art theft and hunts down forgeries and there’s this guy! who is a master criminal who specialises in forgeries and THEY JUST MADE OUT and I AM DYING.

This series was written in the seventies and gets pretty pointed about having a hero who’s different from usual lady characters, which can get a little annoying, but she’s still refreshing!! and she gets information and she goes and researches about it at a LIBRARY!!! at one point I got all “oh no you didn’t!” when she introduced herself by her actual name because I thought the bad guys would be able to research it and find out what she was up to but THEY DIDN’T HAVE GOOGLE!!

Sorry I am so excited!! I’m not recommending this to anyone until I’m done with more of it but I just wanted to talk about how excited I am!!!

Basically what I mean to say is bless the reader on my phone for letting me speed through this series wherever I go.
