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.

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."

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.

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"
I saw that, Consuela, but wondered how? It's such a very complex and different world.

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

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.

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

Driving back from the eclipse, Lee and I listened to an episode of Pop Culture Happy Hour that recommended The Twenty Percent True Podcast so we listened to all 12 episodes of Season 1: Modern Monsters. Essentially short stories with a fantastic element read by the author. Very enjoyable, highly recommend! We especially liked Episode 6: The Roommate
