I saw that, Consuela, but wondered how? It's such a very complex and different world.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap 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."

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.

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!

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!
Are we getting a new one? ::checks iBooks:: Yes! The Brightest Fell 9/5/17 Oooh, the description looks wonderful.

I like Henry too. The first book was very disjointed, probably because the way it was written as a serial, but I think it comes together and I really like the second book, of course mainly because it was very Sloane Slanted. I still want more, especially the fallout to Henry possibly giving Sloane a true love's kiss.
Need to go read the description of the next Toby book. I was expecting it to be about the wedding which should be entertaining.
I HATE that we have to wait until 2018 for the next Antimony book. She got the short end of the stick in that family.
