Just a fun little side note--my friend Devon, an LA actress, has been recording the audiobooks for all the Vampire Kisses books! I thought Jilli would especially appreciate that.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Steam punk, you say? (story and illustration from 1876: "The Steam Man of the Plains.")
Take that Thomas Pynchon. (illo worthy of Against the Day)

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Wow, that does look a lot like the description of the Inconvenience.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire
Just finished the newest Rachel Morgan and Mercy Thompson books.
LOVED the Mercy Thompson book, but my love for Rachel Morgan is waning (which makes me sad... I was totally in love with this series.)

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
OH MAN! If you have not read Christine Falls, you absolutely should. Very very enjoyable.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I just finished Karen Healey's Guardian of the Dead, which is a really good YA fantasy, with a not-thin girl lead doing things her own way and looking out for her asexual best friend. Also, it's set in New Zealand and relies heavily on Maori mythology.
Which is why it's so strange she's had several reviewers announce the novel is set in Australia. Do people honestly not know the difference?

Skulduggery Pleasant book 4: holy crap. They just keep getting darker and darker, much like the Harry Potter books did.
Good stuff. Dawn, do you have it yet?

Ohhhh man, I cannot WAIT! My bro finally sent it to my mom's house, the kids were there, the 18 y.o. took it out of the box 'o stuff (thankfully she left the Cadbury Dairy Milk buttons alone!)so she could read it last week during spring break. She finished it in 2 days, and gave it to my 13 y.o. instead of me, and frankly, it's hard enough to get him to read, so I'll let it slide... she just keeps saying "ooooh mom, just wait" I think if he's not done with it this weekend, I'm gonn repo it...

She's right.
