I loved The Likeness.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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 just finished The Likeness by Tana French. Wow. It's the 2nd book in her Dublim Murder Squad series and they are so good.
I love those books so much. I think The Likeness is my favourite.
I am impatiently waiting to hear news on them becoming a TV series. (Which they better not fuck up.)

Because books.
Is that the series that begins with In the Woods?

I love those books! I do think The Likeness is my favorite, with Faithful Place a close second. And I tore through the last one too (The Trespasser).

Art Crawl!!!
It's so much fun to find a good series that has a fair number of books in it.

Thanks, Amy. That extension is wonderful. I've been doing the library-availability checking manually and this is so much easier.
Calli, I love the Temeraire books. I recently re-read the whole series and just fell into the world. I did not want to leave. I also really appreciated Novik's writing -- the worldbuilding and the characters' voices, particularly Temeraire's. Such a charming character.

Isn't it the best, bennett? My Amazon wishlist functions as a kind of default library list anyway, but this is so efficient!
