Status Updates From Pistols and Petticoats: 175...

I want to review this book, but every time I read a chapter I spend more time looking and downloading (for future references) all the books she's quoting from that it is seriously hampering me from finishing it.;-)

Now I'm taking notes which means the book is interesting enough to send me in other directions

"Around 1864, Metta Fuller Victor, writing under the pen name Seeley Register[...] published the The Dead Letter: An American Romance. Written by a woman, it was perhaps the first true detective novel, a full-length work with a clear detective figure rather than a character who undertakes detective-like activities"

Who knew? Everyone always talks about Poe and his influence...

I want to read every work mentioned in here so far. Guess I need to make a list.
