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."

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.

Thanks! I think I finally read all of the Cadfael books, did not know about these.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

THANK YOU!

Relatedly, Slate had a podcast recently about that book, and I was thrilled that the first thing Charlie Jane Anders said was how much the main character sucks.
