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

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."

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.

Amos is among my favorites. Avarsawala & Bobbi Draper too

I particularly like it because Wes Chatham is such a piece of beefcake I was surprised he reads for pleasure. Apparently he was really thrilled by the story and now he gets to bring it to non readers who like tv. Depth!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm very glad to have started Foreigner from the beginning. I had forgotten almost all the detail and the political subtext is comforting. Excellent job, Solano County Library, in making the series available to me!
Eta: although the map in my head is mirror-reversed and I can't seem to fix it. Every time they say west I am picturing east and vice versa. Weird. And took me almost three books to realize.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Con or Bust's 2017 auction is live. Tons of books, signed books, story critiques, and other stuff.

Just read Sweet Bitter by Stephanie Danler.
It's like. . . the tale of a slack life that revolves around working at a restaurant. Of course, my slack life revolved around a crappy office job that I wasn't actually good at. . . and it wouldn't make an excellent coming of age novel.

Just read Sweet Bitter by Stephanie Danler.
I read that a few months ago, and I didn't get why it got so much buzz. The learning about fine dining stuff was fine, the coming of age stuff and any attempt to be lyrical made me cringe.

I just didn't understand why the main character even went to New York. . . to work in fine dining? (And party?) I may be too far away from 22 to understand. . . or possibly too much of an introvert to ever have found that enticing.
