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."
My favorite Gillian Flynn. Structurally, Gone Girl is better, but Sharp Objects is the one that sticks with me most.
Same.
sj, have you tried any of Megan Abbot's novella-length stuff?
Nope, but I'll look into it. I've settled on Stephen King's Joyland for now. I honestly have enough unread books on my shelf and on my kindle that I have no need to buy any more, not that that ever stops me.
Today is Beverly Cleary's 100th birthday.
From that link:
Publisher HarperCollins recognizes her birthday, April 12, as National Drop Everything and Read Day (D.E.A.R.), in promotion of sustained silent reading.
I'm in!
My boss will disagree.
Yes, except for my lunchbreak, my "in" was more theoretical than practical, unfortunately.
I just finished Mirror Dance in my own epic re-read. But it turns out I had never read Mirror Dance at all! I don't think I own the Miles Errant omnibus in paperback, so there we are. I honestly am not sure I've read anything past this point.
I am taking a brief Vorkosibreak to read Where'd You Go, Bernadette? and then I will tackle Memory
Mmm, Mirror Dance is so good. I still find the existence of the omnibuses (is that the right plural? Omnibi?) confusing, but having them is pretty convenient.
Have I mentioned that my Barrayar immersion is giving me cravings for kasha? Mmm, groats.
For eating? my understanding is that their primary use is in the wedding ceremony (joke).
Although from the books they sound like oatmeal, more or less.
At one point it's described as "native groats" but every other native Barrayaran plant seems to be toxic so I've been picturing buckwheat groats; i.e., kasha. Which I have a fondness for anyway.

No, they eat them for breakfast too.
