did they level each author at all? Reading level, I mean? That would have been interesting to see.
They didn't, but...

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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."

Because books.
I'm surprised Harry Potter isn't higher than that, based on the vocabulary.

Hey. New board.
I think the later books are higher levels

Has anyone read Hild yet? I couldn't put it down. Compelling.

Kat, I am really looking forward to reading Hild.

I'm hoping to get Hild for Hanukkah! I love Nicola Griffith.

I have never read any of Nicola Griffith's books before. Does she normally write historical fiction?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I've not read her before. I searched but didn't come up with any previous historical fiction.

Nope, she doesn't (I too looked). Hild is technically, I guess, historical fiction but also a mix Game of Thrones going. How this reviews starts is crap which means her central argument is crap, but the book is lovely and compelling in the best way.

She has written sci fi and, um, kind of hard-boiled badass lesbian fiction? The Blue Place is the latter and has a couple of sequels. Compelling and engrossing, definitely. She's been talking about Hild on fb through the whole writing process. Her partner, Kelly Eskridge, is also a writer. I've only read Solitaire by her, but I quite enjoyed it.
