Woops, nope, Marie Brennan. She's a fantasy novelist: I think this is her 5th or so published novel.

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."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ah, okay. Well, the book sounds like my kind of thing, anyway, so thanks for the tip.

Good to hear Consuela - I'm looking forward to reading that one.

Because books.
A new book rec site, Bookish, which I already like more than Goodreads. So far it doesn't look like it supports conversation, but it's nice and clean and uncluttered and a little more inclusive than Goodreads when it comes to tangential book stuff.

According to Metafilter, Bookish belongs to a major publisher, I forget which one.

They say on the site, it's Hachette/Penguin. Unfortunately, I tested the couple of random French books on my nightstand and got nothing.

Well, there aren't many left, so there are only a few candidates. I'd guess Penguin or Random House. Or ... Penguin House.

I'm still hoping for Random Penguin.

If Hachette/Penguin is what they're going with, it's booooring.
