Holy cow: The Broken Earth books might be a tv series! [link]
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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 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.

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

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
OMG I have become obsessed with the Toby Daye books. InCryptid got me hooked, and Indexing I also love (especially Sloane - I really want more so there's some follow-up on what happened at the end of the second - book? - set of chapters?
However I've grown to Toby (and her crew) just amazes me. I think Tatiana Mislany would be the perfect choice to play her in a movie/series (Anna Torv who I miss would be a second) and really regret there isn't a young Alan Rickman who could play Tybalt.

Sloane is def the best part of Indexing. I'm kind of meh on the rest of it. But I am with you on Toby & Co - love!
