That library is brilliant!

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'm sad that I"m surprised a city decided to use it for public good.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
My darling Buffistas! I'm crawling out of the darkness imposed by work (eating me from top, bottom, middle)! SO glad to be back and see your pixels!
I finished Deadline and read Laurie R. King's The Pirate King, which was very entertaining. And, in it, Mary Russell's bag with necessities includes a toothbrush, clean socks, reading material, and a loaded revolver. All except the last sound very Buffista-ish to me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, I can think of a couple Buffistas who would beg to differ on that.

My first thought was "a loaded gun rattling around a bag?", but if it's one where pulling the trigger doesn't cock the thing, that is somewhat safer. But still . . .

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Laurie R. King's The Pirate King
I'm reading her Mary Russell books right now! I'm almost done with the second (A Monstrous Regiment of Women), and I'm really enjoying them, except I'm quite put off by the idea of Russell and Holmes marrying.

I liked the first few Russell novels, but Jerusalem put me over the edge. Mary Russell had become just too perfect, too multi-talented in too many ways, and I began to find her unbearable. Pity.

Of course she's perfect! She landed the famously unsociable Holmes (I don't want to say misogynistic, because Holmes was respectful to women, he just didn't think much of most people)!
I liked the first book, and I would have greatly enjoyed a series of Holmes as her mentor, carping about her study choices and potential romances.

Because books.
I loved that series, but it did take a little getting used to when she and Holmes married. I think the only one I haven't read is O, Jerusalem -- I just couldn't get into it. I still have the God of the Hive and The Pirate King to read, too.
I need recs for a new series, too. I got bored with the Inspector Lynley series, and Minette Walters only writes stand-alones, and they've been few and far between lately. I still love Deborah Crombie, but that's once a year now that I'm caught up.
