REALLY looking forward to hearing Antimony's POV.
Me, too! Although what I desperately want is books from Alice's POV.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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."

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I found Alice a little disappointing in Chaos Choreography. Although maybe something from her POV, and especially following some of her extra-dimensional travels, would give what her character was missing there.
Have you read any of the short stories?

Thrive to spite them
My favorites of McGuire are InCryptid and Indexing. Toby Daye never quite captured me.

The InCryptid stories on her website? I've read a lot of those.

I'm only just getting started on those, so from your reaction, I guess I can look forward to the Alice stories!

Hey. New board.
Psst, it's Velveteen vs.
Yes, of course! I blame my children's required cards for tomorrow.
Toby I loved, then was meh, and am recently back to love. I thought Sparrow Hill Road was nice but not memorable. The Mira Grant stuff has all been enjoyable - in some ways I liked the Parasite series more than the Newsflesh series, but I think Newsflesh was actually better by most measures. I just like parasites more than zombies.
Somehow Amazon didn't tell me about Dusk or Dark or Dawn or Day, so thanks! Only 2.99 on Kindle right this moment, so that's cool. And Every Heart a Doorway is available in eBook form AND audiobook form through my library right now! Though I'm currently on a Star Wars audiobook kick, so I'll probably stick with the eBook for that one. Yay libraries!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I like the InCryptid a lot. Wasn't as big a fan of the brother but loooooved the "so you think you can dance" takeoff in the last book.
This. The InCryptid books were my first McGuires, and somehow I didn't warm to the Toby Daye series so much when I tried it. Just such a different tone.

The status is NOT quo.
I really didn't love the first couple of Toby stories — her writing gets much better as the series goes on (which benefited the InCryptid series). Now I can't get enough of them.

Hey. New board.
Toby's world benefits a LOT from the characters she gains over time. Now it's full-on fairy Buffy, with a whole Scooby Gang of greatness.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Last night I finished reading Winter's Bone and have gone in search for info on the religious aspect. I'm curious if the Dolly clan's origins as a cult are based on anything real. I have found myself on quite the tangent though. I found a Missouri Readers group and have been reading their reactions to all of the Gillian Flynn books.
