Does she have a new book out??

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
No, I just read A Closed and Common Orbit. So good!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Frank,
Yup, that's her. Did you know there are a bunch of Incryptid-verse stories on Seanan's website available for download? There's a set of stories about Fran and Jonathan Healy, a few with Alice and Thomas and a set with the current generation.

I know she has a bunch of short works out there, but haven't had the chance to pursue them. I did really like the sea witch story at the end of one of the Toby books and absolutely loved the Arden story at the end of the most recent Toby book (soon to change tomorrow - yay!). The fallout from that will be interesting. I can't wait to see how Toby reacts to some of it namely Cassie becoming a part of the court.

Also, a note to Jilli. I think you will love May Daye in the Toby Daye series. She's so perky goth.

Always Anti-fascist!
Ok, I'm kind of about to be the annoying person bookstore people hate, but I ran out of money at the bookstore a few months ago and thought I'd remember the title or author but I don't. I remember it was a UK novel with a street scene on the cover and the storyline is about a man and woman who run into each other in multiple lives...does this sound familiar to anyone?(thought maybe another 'ffista might have one and say "Oh, yes,(title) I liked that one, too.)

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Doesn't ring a particular bell for me, Erika, but you might head over to Goodreads and post it on the "What's the Name of That Book?" discussion.

Our wings are not tired.
Guess what I will be doing rather than working as much as possible today? Alas, not driving to Philly, which would be best. Next best, finally reading Horizon!
