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!
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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."

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?)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Man, I was impressed that I read 57 books so far (my goal was 50).

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

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
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.

Gah, I just finined a reread of The Devil In Music, the last of the Julian Kestrel books, and it was SO GOOD and it's a crying shame that Kate Ross died at 41 and we didn't get a long series of them. I think I first read them more than 15 years ago on recommendation from Suela, so I am thinking of her.
