Well, now I like it even more
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
That was a cracking good read.

I've been reading a bunch of the NPR book concierge books. A number of them I'd already read (mostly the romances) but there were a lot I hadn't. They've been slowly coming off hold and I'm reading them (or trying and giving up, as I did for Terra Nullius—I got about halfway through I think, if anyone wants to tell me there's an amazing twist? Besides the obvious one)
I also re-read "that inevitable Victorian thing", which I kinda loved and want more stories in that universe. And just got "odd one out", which I really was loving until about the last 5 pages. I didn't like the ending one bit and perhaps not for the reason some might think (anyone else read it?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Christmas book update -- someone else got my cousin that one book, and I still want to read it! This is the problem with doing all your shopping in book stores: I got many books for Christmas, but still have a long list of other ones I want!

Not finished yet, but I impulsively bought Susan Orlean's "The Library Book" and I think Buffistas would like it.

The Math Greek got me this for Christmas and I'm very excited to read it. I may have to interrupt Carter Beats the Devil for it.

Tana French readers: does anyone else think she often goes off the rails toward the ends of her books? I've just gotten to that point in the one I'm reading, and it makes me not want to bother finishing it, which I realize is just crazy talk.

I didn't make it through her latest one, I tried a couple times, got maybe 30% in, and just couldn't care enough

Witch Elm? If so, it changes radically after that first third.
