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.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

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."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Art Crawl!!!
Two things:
1. I did not know that Kindred has been adapted as a graphic novel.
2. Check out this side table designed for reading.

And yet, I'm looking forward to Horizon way way WAY more than Pullman's books. (Seriously, the release date has been on my calendar since I finished Cloudbound.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, my, yes.
I'm actually a little meh on Pullman. The Dust was a disappointing bit of world-building for me, so I may just pass on these.

If you'd like to round out the trilogy of obsessive Bone Universe tracking, I had the release dates for Updraft and Cloudbound on my calendar, too.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm way behind, but I recently finished Binti ... and really liked it.
