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.

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

not your mom's socks.
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.)
this is now printed and on my desk, just sayin'.
I am looking forward to it too. I love this last book a whole lot.

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.

I read that a couple weeks ago (I think it was on sale? Or I got it from the library? Why am I so tired this morning??). I also enjoyed it but wanted more info in that universe! Is there?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
There's a second Binti, fairly recently. Both are excellent.
By which I mean OMG GO READ NOW

Anyone who likes a good portal fantasy should run right out to get T. Kingfisher's Summer in Orcus, because it's lovely and thoughtful and creative and fun. Very much in the Narnia vein, but with modern psychological understanding and richer characterizations. $3 on kindle.
