I'm reading Girl Waits with Gun, which I think I first heard about here. It's excellent.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
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.

Art Crawl!!!
I think that there are a couple of sequels out now.
ETA: the 4th book is out now or very shortly.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I am halfway through Space Opera now, and I'm enjoying it immensely.
My mom saw Gretchen Carlson speak on PBS the other day and sent me her latest book, Be Fierce, because I am also a fierce woman (she says). My mom has never watched Fox News and really isn't up to date on much of anything. I'm womanfully not telling her exactly what I think of Gretchen Carlson or the mere existence of the book, of which I don't have the spoons to read.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
You could respond with Make Trouble by Cecile Richards.

N.K. Jemisin made history - she's the first to win the Hugo for best novel three years running. Here's her acceptance speech.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Finally got a chance to watch the speech. I will follow her anywhere.

Because books.
Anyone else read or are reading Our Kind of Cruelty, by Araminta Hall?
My library hold just came in and I just started it. It looks fantastic.

Oooh, Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon at work. I am quite confident I was completely unaware of "Araminta" as a name before the last couple of weeks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's a character in Crazy Rich Asians, right?
