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."

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.

All of Salinger's unpublished writing will be published.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

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.

Because books.

Our wings are not tired.

Skimmed the article, because long. Sniff, I enjoyed The Woman in the Window quite a lot! That is distressing. Sitting here shaking my head at the extent of wrongness there.
