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

He's a 23 year old bundle of toxic masculinity trying really hard to convince himself he's objective. He has that one moment towards the end (which I cannot find now to quote exactly or to see who he was talking about) where he says something like "I didn't see a man, I didn't see a woman, I saw a person" and the only thing I can think is "Finally! Was that so hard?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, he says that about the main friend he's off in the tundra or whatever with.

Because books.

Finally reading Cat Sebastien, and I LOVE HER.

not your mom's socks.

Oh my gosh, Blood, Water, Paint by Joy McCullough. (Trigger warnings all over the place) please let me write something this amazing at some point in my life.

Ahhhhhh why must alllll my library holds come in at once? I had like three books expire before I finished them and have a few more to go and just got emails that like four more things had come in!

I just had 7 holds come in last week! And the book I started on is not grabbing me so I'm not getting off to a brisk start! They used to have a function on the website so you could put dates on your holds and space them out, but it doesn't seem to work anymore!

Which is to say, I feel your pain!

I'm pretty sure my library has a feature where you can put your hold on hold, so to speak. Suspend the hold, I want to say, while you finish your present book or whatever but don't lose your place in line.

Yeah, I recently saw that—but I had these set to auto checkout, so I already have them! Oops.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Amazon seems to have Charlotte MacLeod kindle editions running $2.99 a piece. Oops, there goes my tax refund.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Oooh, thanks for the heads up, WS!
