I'm reading Girl Waits with Gun, which I think I first heard about here. It's excellent.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
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?
