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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"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.

she totally did a thing with Dama that made me utterly delighted.

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.

Yes! Not, like, oh yes why didn't I see that, but definitely fits.

I did not want to drag myself out of bed this morning, but then I remembered I can listen to Cloudbound while I candy bacon and devil eggs. Technology!

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

Chapter 18 indeed.

(And I'm not really a reviewery type, but I've just spent the morning talking both Updraft and Cloudbound at coworkers.)
