I'm reading Girl Waits with Gun, which I think I first heard about here. It's excellent.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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.

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?
