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."

The PR lady replied to me, saying she has sent my inquiry to her colleague who manages the interview request list.

I'm going to be in Michigan for a bit without much access to internet or even a nearby cell tower, so I'm thinking about grabbing some ebooks to read. (Or possibly prioritizing books I already have.)
I could go through the thread for recommendations, but I don't have the spoons right now. Maybe on the lighter side, though?

If you like supernatural mysteries, Secondhand Spirits by Juliet Blackwell is a good start to her Witchcraft series. It's light without being annoying.
In the same genre, It Takes a Witch: A Wishcraft Mystery by Heather Blake--also the first of a series--is light and fun, but can be a little on the cutesy side. (Unlike her Potion series, which is way the hell on the cutesy/twee side, I couldn't even get past the second chapter.)
Those have been my lighter-side reads of late.

If you're fond of Austen, Shades of Milk & Honey, by Mary Robinette Kowal is very much Austen-Lite, but with added magic.

Jodi Taylor's books about the St Mary's institute of time traveling historians. They're fairly lighthearted, and fast moving.

If you're fond of Austen, Shades of Milk & Honey, by Mary Robinette Kowal is very much Austen-Lite, but with added magic.
Not magic-y at all but, also fan of Austen-wise, I'm most of the way through Longbourne right now and it's fantastic. It's Pride & Prejudice from the POV of the Bennett's servants.

Thanks for the recs! I am an Austen fan, the first book in Jodi Taylor's St Mary's series is going for $0.99 on Amazon right now, and I haven't really read many supernatural mysteries but I consider magic a plus.

I loved Longbourne.
Rainbow Rowell's Landlines is fun.
