Wow!!!
Upside of having generations of kids raised on Star Wars.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I saw this and it struck me as something Jilli would enjoy - Strange Practice. What the author calls "sensible monsters."

Because books.
I just saw that mentioned on Twitter, and it does look good, Todd!
I'm reading this now -- [link] -- and I love it completely. Exactly what's promised -- a historical YA romp through Europe.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Epic and Consuela - thanks for reccing The Thief etc. earlier in the year. I probably would not have started reading the series on my own as I kept getting it confused with The Queen's Poisoner and the descriptions I read were not all that intriguing, but I am so glad I did! What a well and deeply thought out world!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
the descriptions I read were not all that intriguing
Same here, if my friend hadn't recced it, I doubt I would have read the first book or pursued the series.
How far in are you? The books just keep getting better!

I just finished Conspiracy of Kings and decided to go back and reread The Thief, I might just read all of them again before getting the 5th one.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I read The Thief some years ago, and bought the following three books on the basis of my reaction--they got shelved and somehow I never got through them. I'm starting a re-read, knowing that when I finish the series there's a whole community of 'Thief' fanfic on AO3. Nothing like reading security.

The status is NOT quo.
I didn't love The Thief, but I loved the books that followed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The Thief is a lot more fun the second time around.
