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

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.

Art Crawl!!!

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

(I am literally editing something about volume of the hippocampus right now, and it makes me keep giggling.)

Lithub's running list of good books that are selling more because of Trump.

Very interesting.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

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?

Thrive to spite them

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.

Seanan McGuire's Every Heart a Doorway

I love it! I recommended it to my book group, and most of them loved it, too. At least one of them has started reading McGuire's other works because of it.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I read it several months back and loved it.
