Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, the second one is out ... maybe you can get on that list (and read it before a third book comes out).

Would like to join the group, but not enough spoons. I have a good spoon supply, but my burn rate is very high.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Kat, did you just rate a bunch of Lisa Kleypas books on Goodreads, or have I friended the wrong Kat?

I am on a do nothing but read mindless trash. So yes. that's me. I've read about 10 of her books in the past two weeks.

The status is NOT quo.

Kat is me.

Okay, someone convince me to not abandon Outlander.

Because books.

Where are you in it, Kat? It took me a little while to get into it, but once I did, I couldn't stop. And the next two books are even better.

Our wings are not tired.

It has been so long since I read the series that I can't remember the first book, but I know as I got into it I was anxious to start the next volume as soon I finished each one.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I had seen season 1 of the tv show before reading 1. I read it and #2 pretty fast, took me a while to get into #3 which I read over like 9 months, just finished.

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

I read the second one first, and eventually drifted away after, um #5? Would not be able to make a good case for sticking with it, honestly - if it's not grabbing you it's not gonna, imo.

Thrive to spite them

I liked the Outlander series until ...book 5 I think and then I can't be bothered to read more.

The first book has a lot of set up before they get to the action.
