Oh, and I forgot to mention that I agree about Desmond -- throwing the purse-snatcher through the window is a little suspicious in terms of having magical ability, although not outside the realm of possibility for regular strength (like people who lift cars off their kids because they're having an adrenaline surge, etc., which seeing your wife get mugged could certainly cause). I can't really decide whether I like the idea of Desmond having magical abilities or not. Sort of yes, but sort of no.

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."
Yeah, I don't know how I want that to turn out.
Any Cherie Priest fans? I've started Boneshaker and I'm just... not loving it as much as I'd hoped. I'm not very far in, though... maybe it gets better?
I didn`t love it either.
I started it and couldn't muster up the interest to finish it.
Okay, I feel validated. At least I only got it used? I bought the third one, too, b/c it's set in New Orleans. Maybe I'll put together a box of books to send to Powells.
I had no idea that The Academy sneered at audiobooks.Perhaps it's a misunderstanding and they're actually sneering at her for writing sentences like "But let’s be honest: when it comes to their own reading, nobody doesn’t like ease." Ugh.
I also don't understand why she answers her own question a few paragraphs in, and then keeps asking it.
What Academy are we talking about here?
I didn't love Boneshaker, and didn't get the hype. Very bland IMO.
