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'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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!

The status is NOT quo.
Connie, she established that it was never sexual, but intimate on more of a soul level.
So yes and no. It’s really not about the two of them for most of the book.

I'm reading this book on women's history, which is very good so far, but there is also something sort of weird about the copy-editing: it never puts an e in taxes. Is that a thing somewhere and I didn't know?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Uh...no. It's a wrong thing. WTF?
