Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I just finished The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee, and had to recommend it to the Buffistas immediately. It's 18th-century historical fiction, queer romance, and YA fantasy-tinged adventure all rolled up into one extremely satisfying story. I loved it and I feel certain that many of you would love it too!

Kate, I heard that was fabulous... on my to acquire list.

I am a Hardinge fan through and through and A Skinful of Shadows is bouncing like whoah. WHYYYY.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I think Cashmere recommended it to me. So fun to read.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Lovely.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Very lovely! (grumbles: taut, not taught)

Heh. Yeah, I stifled that same grumble.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, my. It's beautiful.
