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.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

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 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.

I plan to order it, but I also have several books that drop in the next few weeks: Updraft, Chapelwood (the second Lizzie Borden Chronicles book by Cherie Priest), Lair of Dreams (the second Diviners book by Libba Bray), and the new book by the Bloggess. So I can wait a while to get Demon Road. It sounds interesting, though.
I just checked my library holds list (which is LONG) to see what I had on hold, and I may have been putting things on hold after I took Ativan, because I don't remember requesting The Rabbit Back Literature Society, but it sounds REALLY interesting: [link]
