17776 - whoa
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

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."

Okay, I just read/skimmed all of 2014 (it was nice to see ita and Ginger again), and never found a word about The Girl with All the Gifts. I would absolutely swear I remember seeing people talking about it here. Am I imagining it?
edit: friggin' autocorrect

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't remember hearing about it, but that doesn't mean much. The summary looks interesting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We talked about the movie version of The Girl With All the Gifts in Movies.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Yeah, the part where Roxy's dad transplants her skein into her brother was horrifying and made me so angry. Although at least the brother does get a satisfyingly awful comeuppance.

Because books.
Found a Hamilton shoutout in a Tessa Dare romance. Delightful!

For anyone who likes Ellis Peters, the books in her George Felse series are on sale for $1.99 to $2.99 at Amazon. At least, I assume that's a sale price. Regardless, they're well worth it.
