ILiveInFlipFlops Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Huh, I was going to answer but realized I don't know how to do the little spoiler thingy. Feel free to PM me! There should be a little button to click to expand the spoiler text, but maybe some devices don't play well with that. I will, thanks!

I was able to read your hidden text, but I didn't know how to put a spoiler alert and hide the text in my answer! :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a useful bit of code, really! For future reference: [ spoiler ]Text goes here[ /spoiler ] Take out the spaces around the brackets.

Lori D. Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) my favorite series: - No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency (Smith) -- set in contemporary Botswana; charming; more about the people and culture than crimes -- also unique because the majority of the crimes are not murders contemporary (1990s to present) - Roland March series (Bertrand) -- contemporary crime/mysteries - Chet & Bernie mysteries (Quinn) -- team of a dog and retired cop turned PI, told from the dog's POV, so quite a bit of human - Brock and Kolla mysteries (Maitland) 1960s-1980s -- feels pretty contemporary - Leaphorn and Chee series (Hellerman) - Miss Seeton books (just the 5 titles by Heron Carvic) historical setting - Mr. and Mrs. Darcy mysteries (Bebris) - Brother Cadfael mysteries (Peters) I'm currently reading my way through 2 different Medieval series: - Domesday Book series (Marston) - Lady Appleton mysteries (Emerson) My in-process review of these two series: While the mystery aspect always suffers from "overly dramatic" syndrome at the book's end in the unveiling of the guilty party, the historical aspect of both series is well-researched. One has an especially interesting premise of the 11th century main characters (a Norman and a Saxon-mix) are actually on a crown-appointed commission to clear up any irregularities about land-holdings from the original Doomsday Book survey required by William the Conqueror. The other has a lot of herbal and everyday running of the household info, as the lead character, is very knowledgeable about use of herbs and medicinal plants; that series also has an interesting twist of lots of intrigue, as it takes place during Queen Elizabeth I's reign.

Kareni Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Oh, I see. That's a useful bit of code, really! For future reference: [ spoiler ]Text goes here[ /spoiler ] Take out the spaces around the brackets. Reading your PM now... I need to test that. [ spoiler ]testing[ /spoiler ] [ spoiler ] testing [ /spoiler ] How important are those spaces in the square brackets? ETA: For me, I needed [ spoiler ] testing [ /spoiler ] but with the spaces removed. I understand now why you put them there as otherwise everything is hidden! Thanks very much, ILiveInFlipFlops!

Regards, Kareni Ah, yes, I should have been clearer that I meant the spaces INSIDE the brackets, not around them! You're very welcome :D I was going to use the method where you turn the font white and readers can highlight over it to make it appear, but I worried that people using some apps or devices might see the text in black regardless of the font color. That's kind of a neat trick too, though. Edited October 17, 2017 by ILiveInFlipFlops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
