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've been meaning to read Leigh Bardugo, too. Is Six of Crows part of the Grishaverse?
Yes. But it only takes place in the same world as the trilogy that started with Shadow and Bone. No real character overlap at all and in a different country. It's quite a deal better.
I know Fonda! She's awesome! And YES Zeroboxer is great!
Seconded!
I really enjoyed it, wished ita was around to get her take on how accurate the weightless fight scenes read (yes, I realize we don't actually have zero gravity boxing, but still, they felt very real somehow)
Fonda spent a lot of time on YouTube switching between videos of astronauts and videos of MMA.
Well, tell her, I loved the book! It all felt very accurate and natural, both in terms of the action and of the protagonist's progressions, as well as how the fighting fit into the storyline, which is something I don't think all fight books do well. Or all books with fighting at all.
will do!
Hey what SFF should I be excited about reading in 2016?
I would tell you, but I'm actually writing that up for Mind Meld SO.
Sox, Kate Elliott has at least one book coming out this year, I think. And another of Martha Wells' Raksura books. Plus doesn't Yoon Ha Lee's first novel come out this spring? (Which reminds me that I really need to read Conservation of Shadows, it's just that I'm terrible at short story collections, I much prefer novels.)
Right now I'm reading Years of Rice and Salt, which I never got around to before. It's quite interesting, although I'm not quite sure what the point is yet...
OH GOSH I FORGOT YOON.
YES FIXING
Oh good PC, you can list Cloudbound :P
Two Buffista appearances to look forward to in Asimov's March issue: one new author, one On Books subject [link]
Maybe I should get a paper copy to get signed

Nice! I love that I've amassed a shelf full of Buffista books.

Oooh!! (Although, alas, Sheila used a gendered pronoun when I deliberately avoided that in my story so the main character could be any gender. I corrected that in her intro to my story.)
Thanks for these, -t!
