Finished Discovery of Witches trilogy this evening. It was entertaining, if probably not worth the $10 I paid for it in a fit of fear I'd run out of book on my flight. And that takes me to 162 books read so far this year. Plus a few I'm half finished with here and there (some abandoned on my kindle, or at least abandoned until I can't find anything else I like, at least one non fiction that I have from the library in hardback and have only been reading at home because it's so unportable..) I think if my job changed, I would miss not only the actual travel, but the hours spent reading on planes.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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."

I posted a review of Uprooted here: [link] (not spoilery for anything beyond the premise).

That was a gorgeous review, Consuela.

I just finished Pocket Apocalypse by Seanan McGuire and I liked but probably not as much as the other InCryptid books. I haven't read the short stotie that go along with that series. I need to do that..
What I really want to read is another book from the Indexing universe but I don't know if she has plans for that.
Never really got into the October Daye series but I may give that another try.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
askye,
The next "season" of Indexing will start in August. Pre-orders are on Amazon now.

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home
I've read all the InCryptid books, but the first two were my favorites by far. I miss Verity!

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
I think the next one goes back to Verity again.

Cool I'll go and pre order right now! I really like the world building in that one,
I got all settled down to the idea of re reading the InCryptid series but then I realized I've turned in my phone for charging (uh, I'm in an inpatient psych situation right now) so I may try to read on the chromebook, I assue there's a kindle app for it but maybe not. I knew I should have had my actual kindle brought with me.
Uh - anyone have suggestions for some good free/cheap ebooks I can download and read I keep picking bad ones.
