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."
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'.
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.
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?
I think there are more - I'll have to check.
There's a second Binti, fairly recently. Both are excellent.
By which I mean OMG GO READ NOW
there is a Binti 2 it is soooo goooood

Salmon Rushdie's next novel is about the last 8 years in US policies. It is called The Golden House.

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.
Oh, yes, I adored that one, Consuela.
Anyone ever read any Guy Gavriel Kay?
I read his Tigana and The Lions of Al-Rassan last year and they were both so spectacular that I decided I needed to read his entire body of literature.
I just finished The Fionavar Tapestry trilogy, and I'm pleasantly surprised by just how much I loved it. It was his first work, and while Tigana and Lions... are these grand sweeping epics, The Summer Tree (book one of the trilogy) literally opens with a bunch of Canadian college kids getting pulled through a portal - and for whatever reason I didn't think portal fiction was my thing. (Apparently it is).
Anyway, my heart is very full of joy and sadness after reading the whole trilogy, and I wanted to recommend any and all of his work to everyone, and know if anyone else has read any!!
