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."
No, people using the same terms of endearments over and over is just how married people talk. It doesn't ping me in the same way as, say, Claire comparing literally everyone sees for the first time to an unbelievably specific kind of animal. ("so and so was such and such, looking like nothing more than an adolescent koala who has just remembered his grandmother's favorite brand of washing powder.")
I read the first ... four maybe ... of the Outlander books, but got exhausted. Those things are LONG.
They might be less tiring to read in electronic format. Holding the books was physically taxing.
I couldn't read them- but I don't really get along with long books like Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones either. The longest book I read for pleasure is probably either Gone with The Wind or Tommyknockers. And Tommyknockers almost killed me! I can read long non-fiction books, though.
I have also been reading a lot of historical by Courtney Milan- they are pretty amusing.
Tessa Dare's historical romances are also a lot of fun -- smart, sexy, light, but with kickass heroines. I've loved all of them.
I love Courtney Milan!
Very long, multi-volume fiction is my thing so I was delighted. With added bonus of timey wimey. However, if Mary Sue's Jamie's nose, eyelashes, and body aroma were mentioned a few less times it would have been a much shorter series.

Long, straight / auburn but dark at the tips (so unusual!) / LIKE A MAN
I love you people. I am laughing so hard right now.
