Flavia is Top Pick
I'm excited to share the news that "As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust" has been chosen by LibraryReads as January's Top Pick.
Library Reads are chosen by librarians from across the US as the books they love best.
I'm told that this is the first time an author or a series has been twice chosen. Last year, The Dead In Their Vaulted Arches' was also picked.
What a Christmas gift!
Thank you, librarians!

No ... eight days a week.”

Hi again, Sophie,
I'm glad you had as much fun reading it as I did writing it - and that it made you laugh! Next book will be out in mid-January.

Hi AlanJust finished reading 'Speaking From Among The Bones'. What a cliffhanger! Loved the book and can't wait for the next one! By the way I laughed and laughed at the "stupid old sea cow" bit. Fantastically written- I hope the Flavia books go on for a long time :)
Regards
Sophie
Hi, Sophie,Thanks for your kind words. I love hearing from readers who have enjoyed the Flavia books.
With warmest regards,
Alan
Hi AlanI am so excited to read the new book! I LOVE Flavia! I always laugh out loud when I read your books- my family thinks I'm crazy! Keep up the amazing stories :)
Regards
Sophie
Hi Alan,Thanks for befriending this fellow mystery author! I love Flavia.
Ok! Ok! I'll read... I've become so fond of these young spitfires... Arya from GOT, Bloody Jack from her series and now Flavia! Just makes me wish that I was 11 again! ( in my head I am ! )

I enjoy reading and rereading "Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" because riding a bicycle with Flavia is tremendous fun. It makes me feel fifty years younger.
So excited that 4th book will be out this year. I miss Flavia. Thank you so much Alan.
Thanks, Maureen, Tegan Mae, and Tanu. It's always a treat to hear from readers who are enjoying the Flavia books.Happy reading!
Alan
Thankyou for giving me my new best friend, Flavia De Luce, can't get enough of her..
Just want to say I can't wait for the next Flavia de Luce book! Flavia is by far one of my favorite characters in any book I've read! I couldn't put the books down. Thanks for creating such a wonderful series!
Hi Alan,Just finished "A Red Herring Without Mustard". I think it's the best Flavia yet. I love your characters. They are like my family!
