Yep, loved The Night Circus.
Next up: The Coldest Girl in Coldtown! Not read by Jim Dale, sadly. Everything should be read by Jim Dale.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I picked up a copy of The General in his Labyrinth for $2 at Half Price Books this week. The title jumped out at becuase y'all had mentioned it, so thanks for that.

Because books.
I know this article is probably intentional click bait, but when I got the part in Section 4 about how libraries "should be more judicious in their spending," I had a rage attack.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mentioning clickbait--I'm sure someone said there was a site you could use to look at "bothersome" sites without giving them extra click revenue. Am I making that up? If not, WHAT IS IT?

That sounds really familiar, but I have no idea, ita.

That would be Do Not Link.
Unrelated, here is Chitra Banerjee Devakaruni having a Twitter conversation with Geoffrey Chaucer. It's wonderful.

Thank you, PC. I wish there was somewhere we could put that nice and obvious.

Mary Stewart has died. [link] Not a life cut tragically short, but still, sad. I loved her Merlin books when I was in high school.

Huh. I guess she was in my mental list of "People I didn't know were still alive." Must go read her books again in tribute, I've been saving the Merlin trilogy for a special occasion.

My mom had lots of her books. I remember being fascinated with the title of Touch Not the Cat when I was a kid.
