Yes, you will flail and gibbber and drool with envy at the writing.
Have fun!
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm doing the audiobook so I get to hear the Scottish! I already love the narrative voice.

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.

The status is NOT quo.
I just read it, Connie! The Fool is a man, though he has masqueraded as a woman. It was a great read.
I adore Robin Hobb.

Did she do anything with the less-than-subtle romantic tension that was in the end of the first books?

Hey. New board.
I was able to get some more Skulduggery Pleasant ebooks (more) legally by tricking Kobobooks.ca into thinking I was Canadian and paying with Paypal. A pain, but at least the publishers and authors got their due.
And now I have reading to do!
