I should read more Tanith Lee. I loved what I have read, although at this point I can't remember the titles. Perhaps I would recognize them if I looked at a list? Perhaps. not sure if descriptions would even help, what I remember is very...abstract.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

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."

Oh, no, Tanith Lee! I loved her collection "Tales from The Sisters Grimmmer." It really got me into the idea of revamped fairy tales, which of course Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling have some up with some STELLAR anthologies on that theme.
I liked Gone Girl, but I REALLY loved Dark Places. I think Charlize will do a great job, but she's not who I had a visual image for the main character.

Strix, I'm curious who you were picturing.

Emily Blunt, for some reason. (I also like that the series' are based in mostly MO; I'm all like, hey, the setting is partly KC! I know that place! Gillian Flynn is from KC, though; she went to Bishop Miege, a very good school, but I think she's a few years younger than I.)
I know ScarJo droppped out of Dark Places, and I think Charlize will do fine, but I would have cast ScarJo in Sharp Objects, personally, before Dark Places.

I actually pictured ScarJo the entire time I was reading Dark Places. She seemed more the physical type, and I'm having a hard time picturing Charlize in the role

I didn't know about casting when I read the books, so I was actress-image free. And I'm thinking Emiy Blunt, but I was also thinking a slightly older Ellen Page. She's got the bitter down.

While out thrifting today, I found vintage Mary Stewart paperbacks! Nine Coaches Waiting and Touch Not the Cat ! My collection of gothic paperbacks slowly grows ...

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I wish my local library had Tanith Lee's Tales from the Flat Earth books. I can check out her vampire stories if I want (the ones I've read didn't impress me), but our librarian seems not to like her fantasy works.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I think - hope - that since I saw a new edition of The Birthgrave, that they'll be reprinting the rest of her books. Just about all of which I had at some point.
Do you remember the episode of Blake's 7 that she wrote? I remember it as being good, but not one of their typical episodes.
