Summer is when I mainline reading that I've been unable to get to all year long. I was about to start Six of Crows, but realized it comes after the Grisha series. Should I read that first?
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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."

You don't have to, Burrell. But they are good too.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I spend a chunk of last weekend catching up on the last two years (!) of this thread. You all talked me into buying some books and now all I want to do is read. I just finished Station Eleven, which was kinda perfect for a theatre geek who likes post-apoc stories. I'd really like to not go to work tomorrow and just start on the next one.

Thanks Kat, I tried to swap out the book at the library but the first Grisha book was checked out, so I figured I'd just start with the one I have. But meanwhile I read another book called The Whatnot since I'd already read the companion book The Peculiar and I knew it would be a fast read.

Anyone read A Head Full of Ghosts ? I read it yesterday and really need to talk about it.

Heh, PC - "It is definitely a book that will have you immediately seeking out other people who read it so you can talk about it."
YES THIS.

Toddson, I share your grief at the loss of Jo Bev. And reading about that made me realize how many of my favorite authors are about her age, which while not extremely elderly is also elevated enough that they will probably not outlive me.
