I am a Marge Piercy fan.
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 didn't enjoy the other novels of hers I read--they didn't speak to me the way Woman did. I do love her poems, though. Cutting edge Second Wave feminism.
I don't think I have fully taken in the end of Cloudbound, honestly, I need to re-read those descriptions a few more times, see if my brain can learn to handle the scale.
Station Eleven was terrific but is not helping my general sense of unreality much.
Now reading the latest Rivers of London. Not far enough into it to know what the plot is, really, but it is good to be back among these characters.
Okay- decided that since there is no easy way to get to my bookstore (local) I orded Cloudbound on Indiebound.
Also I find that listening to Smart Podcast Trashy Books inevitably increases my tbr list.
(loves you guys so hard. I really needed to read that today. Thank you
(I am literally editing something about volume of the hippocampus right now, and it makes me keep giggling.)
Just finished Seanan McGuire's Every Heart a Doorway. I checked back in the thread, but the only mention I saw of it was when Steph's library hold came in. Anybody else read it?
I haven't but I checked and my library has it! I will go pick it up tomorrow I think. My library doesn't have a great selection of current sci fi and fantasy.
It's really excellent. I can't articulate what I want to say about it, but it was really...touching...or something. Anyway, I loved it.
