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 Amy's extension tells me that I can put Murderbot Diaries on hold at the library, 3rd in queue. Technology, sometimes you are all right.
Interesting, Pix. I think it was the they tried to give me anti-parasitics and I nearly died, and then they did it again and I nearly died again that made me pretty sure. That and the warm, hot dark.
I finished the Murderbot story last night and my only complaint is that it's TOO SHORT. Apparently she has 2 more in the works, and may published them all together in a hard copy version.

For used bookstores, you can't beat The Last Bookstore, though.
