But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

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."

The status is NOT quo.

Just read The Fifth Season, I.e., the new Jemisin and it is excellent. Want next book NOW.

So funny -- I adore Jemisin, but this book did nothing for me. Beautifully written, but I didn’t care about it for some reason.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

When my dad did a DNA thing, I believe it suggested he had an unexpectedly high percentage of Sami background. [link] Aside from preferring cooler climes, this hasn't really affected my life--I'm just another white Midwestern cat lady.

Did I mention The Invention of Wings here? My book group read it this month. It was good. I especially admired how Kidd structured it between her two main character's viewpoints.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't have the book, yet, but I have the bookplate!

Thank you, Sox, I knew you would have good words for me. It's perfect.

I am appreciating one general spoiler. Some things I don't want sneaking up on me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Derek Landy's new book (Demon Road) is out today, too. I still need to order it.

Hm. I might wait until that one is released in the US. Because Too Many Books.
