Yes! Same to all of that! OK, glad to know it's not just me then.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just noticed last week that her new novel is being released as The Wych Elm in the UK and Ireland. I wonder what else was edited for North America.

Not "jacks roll," that's for sure. (I figured it out eventually.)

meara,
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.
SAME. It's fun that they are coming in a few at at I'm rushing to read them before I have to return them.
I 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?)
So I had written down on a paper a list of titles. And I apparently had Odd One Out wrong and reserved Odd Mom Out, which was weird because it seemed so dated (it mentioned myspace) and it wasn't that good. When I saw my original list, I realized I had it wrong. So I have this Odd One Out on hold, but it hasn't come in yet.

Ooh, Kat I'll be interested to hear your thoughts after you read it!!
Another one just came in that I'm looking forward to and hoping will be good, •"book of essie", about a Duggar-like family with a reality tv show whose daughter gets pregnant as an unwed teen.

Deborah Harkness's new book was at the library for me so that's next.
I read The Nanny and I'd give it a pass. But Kiss Quotient was pretty good.

Yeah, I had already read Kiss Quotient and enjoyed it. Looking forward to her next book

Read "Book of Essie"—it was slightly different than expected, but I liked it a lot. The main character was maybe a little treacly, and some of it might be a bit of liberal wish fulfillment about a Duggar-like family. But I enjoyed the twists and turns.

Art Crawl!!!
I heard that a new Buffyverse novel was coming out last week and put a hold on it - expecting that I would get it sometime in the next six months: but I got it right away!
It's called Slayer by Kiersten White and I'm enjoying it so far.
In other Whedonverse news: picked up the new Firefly novel Big Damn Hero. So far it's enjoyable.

Sumi, no lie -- I just got a notice today from my library that Slayer is ready for me to pick up!
