Anyone else read or are reading Our Kind of Cruelty, by Araminta Hall?
I'm 1/3 of the way in (just finished Part 1) and whoa. It feels like Boy Gets Girl from the guy's point of view. Suuuuper creepy.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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."

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

I thought of Naveen Andrews and I bet he would be very pretty in eyeliner and rhinestones so I think he's my choice.
Oooooooh, he'd be good!

Just finished The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal, and I enjoyed it immensely. It's basically the novel I wanted to write (or read) after I heard about the Mercury 13.

The status is NOT quo.
Yes! I read that recently, too. So good!

I have zero familiarity with the book in question, but I just felt the need to add my vote: Yes to Naveen Andrews in eyeliner & rhinestones!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was ready to cry when Oort found the costumes they had grown. Robert!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am reading The Calculating Stars right now and it is indeed FG.

I'm reading Girl Waits with Gun, which I think I first heard about here. It's excellent.

I got that but it wasn't as good as I expected ... maybe I need to go back to it and try again. There is a sequel out, if you're interested.
