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.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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.
