Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Yes, it is. So good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Very cool! I was already excited when I realized that was from my local. (Edit: Which I did NOT realize from the byline, because I am a skimmy skimmer who skims.)

I just saw an ad for Robin Hobb's new series The Fitz and The Fool. I don't remember, was it declared if the Fool was a man or a woman? I know the Fool appeared as both.
