AFAIK, he's never been a Buffista, though perhaps he's a lurker.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

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."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Has anyone read The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco? I just finished The Heartforger, the second book, and am really enjoying the series. I don't read that much YA fantasy but the worldbuilding was pretty solid. I get the sense that she pulled from a lot of different Asian cultures and legends.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have not but now I want to. Should I get the e-book or the audiobook, you think?

I am not not an audiobook person, so I have no advice on the matter I am afraid.

OK, I will make up my own mind.

Because books.
I'm always tempted to adapt recipes from the bakery, but they're all a) metric, b) scaled, and c) enormous. I will say this, too -- watching home bakers laminate dough is all the way impressive. We have a sheeter for that (and even then it's an effort.)
I just finished Sawkill Girls (YA, Michelle LeGrande), and it sort of blew me away. It was everything I could have wanted in a story about the power of girls, the strength of girls, and girls sticking together. That said, the prose got a little purple at the end, but I couldn't even get too mad at it.

OK, Bone Witch is really absorbing (I went with ebook, ftr). I feel I have gotten multiple recs for Sawkill Girls recently, may have to check that out.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'll be at the library bookstore tomorrow morning from 7-9 board time, if anyone is looking for something specific.

not your mom's socks.
(Hi i am on deadline, not here, etc.) I've read half of this. I stopped when my brain started making screeeee sounds and kind of went off the rails.
SO I'm going to put this link down, line it in fireproof coverings and then wrap it in signs that say caution for -- oh god so many reasons but most particularly because there's a whole level of munchausen's by proxy by email gaslighting bs in here that may not be unfamiliar to some friends.
and also W. T. F. B. B. Q. with every possible topping and a sea anchor and a nopetopus on top.
