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.

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."

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?

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
