I read some of those a long time ago but I don't really remember them. IIRC, I liked them but lost track of which titles I had read and which I hadn't (was picking things up pretty much at random at used book stores, mostly), which often stalls out my series reading.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I read the Fionovar Tapestry ages ago and loved it, but never got into the rest of his work for some reason.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Yeah, good stuff.
It was The Lions of Al-Rassan that made me cry.

Oh man, the battle at the end of Lions.. between Rodrigo Belmonte and Ammar ibn Khairan made me so upset I didn't want to read to see the conclusion.
Such a sad and beautiful story.

I love so much GG Kay. I remember absolutely, full-bore sobbing at pretty much the entire last 1/8th of the last book.
Loved Lions, Tigana, the Sarantium duology, Song for Arbonne, and his first Asian-inspired book. The others, though...I just didn't like the newer ones. That others are so emotionally rich and I just didn't feel much for the characters in the latest ones.

I'm halfway through Code Name Verity and I, uh.... I have a fair feeling I am going to be emotionally devastated by this book.

Because books.
You're not wrong, zuisa. But it's completely worth it.
