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."

I read Rainbow Rowell's Carry On, which was pretty damn delightful.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think Cursed Child probably works better on stage, because it's gotten excellent reviews but I thought the script was only okay. The dialog seemed very stilted, and the plot was overcomplicated even for JKR.
Neil Gaiman's Fortunately The Milk is fantastic, my son read it at age 8 and loved it. (Grown ups should read it too!)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Cursed Child also broke its own internal rules of time travel, which irritated me.

Hey. New board.
I did not expect to like Carry On for some reason and then I really did.

What about Allyson'"Sam the Bat" ? Even though it was a children;s book I enjoyed reading it before passing along to the friend's kid I bought it for. And teaches bat biology! (Honestly knew almost nothing about varieties of Bat species a before reading that book.) So an extremely all ages thing.

I'm reading Gail Carriger's "Imprudence," and she totally did a thing with Dama that made me utterly delighted. (I'm not terribly far into it; maybe 1/4 of the way.)

Oh, I didn't know that was out! And me between books; well, not any more!

"Specialty of the House" is in the current Ellery Queen (I guess it first appeared there? And was the author's first published story, which I did not realize). I must have read it before, but it's been a while. This reading, I am pretty sure, is the first time I put together that the delicious Lamb A-something is not only human, it's human that has eaten at that restaurant every night for a decade or two! Wossname the owner must choose hie non-special menus to develop the flavor in his diners/stock.
No reading Imprudence and feeling like maybe I should go reread Prudence as my memory, out sucks. It's not affecting my enjoyment, just kind of silly that I seem to remember the details of the Carrier's other series in this universe so much better.

I may have just gotten to this. Chapter 6? If so, it's the type of thing that oftentimes makes me cranky, but in this case I am pleased.
