The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter
Fun!
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

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."

Really liked The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter. Hit the sweet spot for that subgenre for me, I think.
Do not care for Alice. I feel like I am supposed to like her but I really just don't. The Prices in general are kind of irritating, but I put up with them for the cryptids who I generally like much more. And Antimony.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I really like Verity. I think I read Magic For Nothing way too quickly, because I wasn't left with much of an impression of Antimony. I need to reread it.

Because books.
Y'all have got to read this, about a book scamming its way onto the NYT bestseller list:
Oh, that's gold. Wow. (I also didn't know you could do the bulk-buying thing.)

Whoa, that is fascinating, Dana!

The NYT has taken it off the list now.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I haven't read the Toby Daye books yet, but the fact that there are so many make me happy. I love starting a series with a bunch of books ahead of me.
You really should. I found the first book a bit hard to take because there was a lot of world building involved (I read it again after I'd finished the series so far and enjoyed it much more), but stick with it. It gets really good especially in a "create your own family" kind of way.

When I read Rosemary & Rue (that's the first one, right?) I got the sample first and then bought the book and kept reading only the sample was not the first chapter so I was SO CONFUSED because I just went on from where the sample ended and it sure seemed like I was missing a lot of information and there were all these references to things happening that I had no idea about... Eventually figured it out. So, um, don't do that, I guess?
