Hi everyone. Gerald has told me that it's on topic to discuss books
we'd like to add to the collection including the topic of classic
mysteries. So now I'm curious about a couple of things. NLS has
gotten rid of many of their titles that were recorded onto vinyl
records, so this project is especially dear to me. If we worked
together to add some mysteries to the Bookshare collection, has
anyone seen a site where we can get lists of books that are in
certain series? I'd like to see a list of all of the Perry Mason
mysteries so I could start looking for books that we don't have and
try to do them in order. I like reading books in order because
characters evolve and change over time, sometimes gaining new friends
or new traits that you don't see in the earliest books. The first
book about Nero Wolf and Archie has Archie talking to a different
friend at the newspaper while later books involve the same contact as
a minor but colorful character in the stories.
Additionally, have any of you seen a site that lists award winners
from the past, awards like the Edgar and Golden Dagger? I have to
admit that I never paid attention to awards because I just like good
books. It seems like adding award-winning mysteries from earlier
years to the collection might be a nice approach too.
