Congrats on the Nebula nomination! The story was nice and creepy, although I'm not sure I got what was going on...
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

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."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Immediately adding that to ltc's wishlist.

Introducing @volans to 17776 tonight was one of my greatest joys bc of this conversation:
V: "This is GREAT..." V: "I'm sending it to people." me: "did you get to the thing yet?" V: "I got to the [redacted] part and then I had to send it to more people" me: waits V: "HOLY SH*T"
and now you: [link] I hope this wins a Hugo this year

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Have any of you read Naomi Alderman's The Power?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I LOVED 17776.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The existence of 17776 pleases me so so much. That would be wonderful if it won a Hugo.
Oh, The Power, I think I bought that but didn't read it yet. Hm, I wonder what format I got it in...
I am down the Hainish Cycle rabbit hole right now. Read The Word for World is Forest for the first time and am now rereading The Dispossessed and I really want to just tear down our whole society and start fresh. I guess I will decide over the weekend if I want to steer into that or back off.

I read most of it but then kept putting off finishing it because I was scared where it would go and then my library book expired.

Because books.
Have any of you read Naomi Alderman's The Power?
I want to, too. I should put it on hold, in fact.
