Topic of the Day:
The series of books I've read that have a female protagonist are the Flavia de Luce books. I've read the first two, "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" and "The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag." I enjoyed both of them very much. I also love the Adriana Hofstetter books.
TV: "Cagney and Lacey" and "Castle" are the only ones that I can think of, right now.
