Xander ,'Lessons'
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."
Check out the Vicky Bliss books, too, -t, if you like the Jacqueline Kirbys. They're not especially deep, but they're fun.
I came across my Anne LaBastille books today, along with an early Bill Bryson and the Gary Paulsens. I'm settling in at bedtime with Woodswoman.
I apparently either don't read nearly enough or am not very good about recording my read books on Goodreads. Probably a bit of both. Also, I think those 1000+ page sagas I love to read should count as more than one book. To be serious, the main reason I record things on Goodreads is because otherwise I would not be able to remember what I read. Although rereading works fine for me since I generally don't remember the content either and it is all new and glorious!
Pix, it helps that I have no commute, don't grade papers like you have to, and also tend to read stuff that is not super meaty or challenging! (I mean, sometimes I do, but not super often relative to how many romances I read?)
Man, I was impressed that I read 57 books so far (my goal was 50).
I read one Vicky Bliss book a million years ago and took against her for some reason. I may or may not be able to set that aside, we'll see.
Prejudices against fictional characters are guiltless pleasures, -t. I may have been over-enamored because of one scene with a dog, and the setting of Garmisch-Partenkirken, with which I was familiar.
One reason I love being late to the party on books: sometimes that means there are 12 in the series already and they are all available at the library!
I enjoy Jane Aiken Hodge's books but I love Joan Aiken's Alternative England bioks.

Bummer that there won't be a Z book, but it's probably for the better that the manuscript stays unfinished. After the mess that was "The Painted Queen", I'm a bit leery of bringing in a new author to finish a book.
