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."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I'm a couple books behind in the St. Cyr series, but I have been reading it, as well as the Victoria Thompson and a number of other historical series.

It's a few years old, but Sharan Newman has a series set in medieval France.

I am currently reading "The Painted Queen" which is the last Amelia Peabody book. It's from a manuscript Elizabeth Peters started, but didn't get to finish, so the publishers got Joan Hess to finish it. It does seem a little...off, but I will finish it for completion's sake.

Because books.

I'm getting to the point where I read Kate Ross's Regency mysteries long enough ago that I can reread them, which will be a treat.

Jilli, I assume you've had multiple people pointing you towards this, but just in case:

Giveaway on Goodreads, including a link to request a review copy from NetGalley - I'm not sure whether I'll qualify as a "reader of influence", but I'd bet folding money that you do.

I saw that, Consuela, but wondered how? It's such a very complex and different world.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I can't imagine how they can pull that off but if they can I will be thrilled to watch it!

Art Crawl!!!

I found River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey on the new book shelf today. It's a short AU about a 19th century America in which Congress actually did decide to populate Louisiana with free-range hippos.

Oh! Amazon has been recommending that to me but I thought it was something entirely different. Intriguing.

not your mom's socks.

I'm so so excited about Nora's series!!!

Also when it is posted, Ursula Vernon'/ Hugo acceptance speech is the funniest best thing.

I keep hearing about the legendary Whalefail speech, but I have seen no links to it yet!
