Sweet! The latest Rivers of London just dropped. Not that there is any connection other than I like both series.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

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."

Our wings are not tired.
I'm just a big fan of series. Once I get to know my characters I'd like to continue spending time with them.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Margaret Atwood is coming out with a Handmaid's Tale sequel.
There's also a Handmaid's Tale graphic novel coming out, by an artist I like very much.

I'm not sure how to feel about that. The sequel, I mean. Graphic novel sounds swell.
But I came here to talk about Fire and Blood. I just got to a passage that includes "Kermit Tully was...'green as summer grass'....His brother Oscar ... was still greener" and I had to tell someone: I see what you did there GRRM

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I see what you did there GRRM
Hey, it's not easy.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That's been canon since the World book. I know because I had to look it up because the tags on Ao3 seemed...unlikely

World book?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
World of Ice and Fire. It's an in-universe reference book, so there's some unreliable narrator stuff, but it has family trees for everyone (which we have no reason to think are inaccurate apart from Known Lies About Parentage).
It's also a lovely book, apart from the standard issue of pretty much all the women looking like models.

Ah, I passed on that one. I almost passed on this one, but I'm enjoying the mock-historiography a lot.
