I'll second (or whatever) the recs for the Tasha Alexander and Kate Ross mysteries. And I'll take note of the recs for Sebatian St Syr & Pirates.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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."

Throwing another rec out there. I'm in the middle of The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker, and I'm loving it so much!
It's the story of a female golem and a male Jinni who wind up in New York in 1899.
I'm having a really hard time putting it down.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
FWIW, Kate Ross was a big Dorothy Dunnett fan...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Rayne, that book has shown up on a lot of best-of lists, and it sounds great! It's on my to-read list.

Because books.
Maybe I'll look at them -- I loved the Kate Ross books so much.

Because books.
Um... I guess it's good that Flynn is doing it with him, but it seems like they're about to change a big piece of what made the story so memorable.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm really not sure I even want to see that movie anymore.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, I thought the ending was perfect. Movies can end in uncomfortable ways too people!

Holy crap. The entire Oz collection is on sale at Amazon (Kindle) for only $.99! [link]
ETA: Whoa, and the Anne of Green Gables books, the Peter Pan books, and a collection of 16 classic horror stories (including Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow). Sweet sale!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Some of that might be public domain. I know the Anne books are, and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
No bonus features or illustrations, though.
