I recently read a novella by Mary Robinette Kowal, The Escapement of Blackledge which was written as kind of an Aprils Fool joke. It's entertaining, not very long, and contains some very amusing language.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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."

Oooh, Sunil!
The various Puppies sound pretty awful, for what that's worth.
Another book rec for book lovers: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin.
That sounds lovely.
I'm finishing The Winter People right now. Anyone else read it?

The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin.
I'm seconding this. I read it a while back and thought it was so enjoyable.

I also read that a while back, and it was not what I thought it was going to be? I'm not sure what I thought it was going to be. But I did enjoy it.
