I'm enjoying Discount Armageddon , too.
Yeah... That went well.

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."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
(she plans to switch POV characters every two books).
Cool. I want to read Antimony's POV.
And I *so* love the Aeslin mice. And Istas.

Istas is awesome. As are the Aeslin mice. Hail!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So if I really like the Toby Daye books but didn't much care for One Hell of a Ride, will I like Discount Armageddon?
Don't look at how high my TBR pile reaches, that doesn't enter into this.

I think Alex's books are after Verity's. I don't remember when Antimony's are. I look forward to Sarah's books; I imagine they'll be hilarious.

"One Hell of a Ride" is okay. Discount Armageddon is much better. If what you didn't like about it was that there were crazy demons and shit, then that could be a problem, but I doubt that was why you didn't care for it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
There's a collection - Westward Weird - that has the story of how Verity's grandparents met. It's called "The Flower of Arizona" (the mice are also in it - HAIL).

I liked Discount Armageddon a lot. It's lighter than the Toby Daye books - more humor and, to me, it felt like less of a world-ending crisis. LOVE the mice.

I think that's because writing InCryptid is how Seanan recovers from writing Toby; the books take so much out of her.
LOVE the mice.
Everyone loves the mice. It is impossible not to!
At the book release party, someone asked about the mice, and she said that she could only use the mice in small doses because if you look at them too long, they actually become incredibly sad, since their entire existence is essentially recounting past tragedies and reliving the horrors year after year. Sure, they do the happy things too, but still.
