Have any of you read The Madwoman Upstairs by Catherine Lowell? It's excellent. Just surprising and smart and funny.
It's been showing up in my recommendations.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

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."

Thrive to spite them
One of the negative reviews for the Hamiltome I read was a complaint about the edges being ragged and not liking getting a damaged book. Feature it's a feature person.

Amy and aurelia, it's really enjoyable. I picked it up from the library because the there was a blurb by Deborah Harkness. Then when I was returning another book, there was another book with a Deborah Harkness blurb so I picked that one up too. I want Deborah Harkness to recommend books to me from now on.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

When I worked in a bookstore, we used to get returns All. The. Time. from people bitching that books with deckled edges were "damaged".
I mean, whatever, if it's within the return period and you have the receipt. But "idiot" is in your file forever now.
