Yay! I don't know that I have anything else to say about it, but I'm very enthusiastic about those books.

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

Is that the lending thing, where you get it for a week?
Prime Lending Library doesn't have time limits, but you can only have one book out at a time.
I'm in the middle of the second book which introduced some really interesting characters.
I was SO HAPPY when the TV show brought characters in from the 2nd book right away, because they are my favorites.

I love the U.N. lady. My favorite character so far.

I also really like Amos. Hmmm.... my favorite characters are the ones who swear the most. Does that say something about me? Oh well, fuck it.
Does Syfy let Chrisjen and Amos swear in the TV series? It would be a shame if they couldn't. Not sure how they could talk.

Yes, mostly. Syfy's language censorship is weird - they mute the vowel when characters say "fuck" so it sounds like "f-k" but then a few episodes back, Margot on The Magicians referred to herself as "a manipulative cunt" which they let air in full. And even the f-bomb censorship is pretty half-assed. I'm not sure I'd notice it at all except I watched the first season of Magicians on Netflix.
In S1 there was much less swearing, apparently because Shohreh Aghdashloo wasn't comfortable with it. But in S2 she's Book!Chrisjen in full force.

This is not on Netflix in Canada and I've been waiting forever for the DVDs at the library. Harrumph.

Herding cats for fun
Bonus info: the actor playing Amos was reading the Expanse when he got called for the job. Made it more awesome to watch.

Ooh, I didn't know that about the Amos-actor - very cool.

That's cool. I've only watched the first show in the series. That got me to start the series. It's much easier for me to listen to the audiobooks while commuting than setting aside time to watch TV.

not your mom's socks.
Amos is among my favorites. Avarsawala & Bobbi Draper too
