It got bumped to 2020. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.
Buffy ,'Sleeper'
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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Well, as long as it's coming.

I started Naomi Novik's Uprooted a couple of days ago. It's so good, I can't put it down.

I heart Goblin emperor so much. My only quibble was with the names, which got very confusing and I sometimes had a hard time remembering which character was which.
And I haven't reread the Queens Thief series in a long time. Maybe I should do that...
Right now I'm reading a bunch of lesbian romances from the library. The one where they were camping and stalked by a killer in the Olympic national forest was one I should not have been reading after dark on my own. But the others were mostly terrible so far...

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I feel like I've just walked into a room where people are raving about friends of mine: The Thief, The Goblin Emperor, Uprooted! All so good, yay! Love my friends! (While validating my taste!) Yay!

hip deep in pie
I read the first Poirot one, and I literally can't remember if I finished it. Do not recommend.
I did finish it and I don't recommend it, either.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I did love The Goblin Emperor. sigh ... wish there were more.
I recently finished T. Kingfisher's The Clockwork Boys, The Wonder Engine and Swordheart - all set in the same world. I want more. And I want more about the gnoles.

Hey. New board.
So now I have the goblin emperor on audiobook and The Thief on hold from the library so thanks!
I just finished listening to Girl on a Train. Not to be confused with The Girl on the Train. I thought the former was the latter until like 85% of the way through when I tried to talk about it with my wife and we both got confused. I was in the "this is pretty fun but feels like a kind of simple and amateurish mystery why was it so popular?" state, but then I was freed when I realized it's actually a semi-self-published $2.99 on Kindle pulpy mystery and I was able to enjoy it much more for what it was. I recommend it if you enjoy that sort of thing!

Thrive to spite them
I got a library card in SC ! It has a mermaid on it. I'm really excited because I have access to so much more than I have in a very long time. I got a Harry Dresden book from the audiobook app they have and I realized I don't remember it. I thought I had read them all...but no I missed several. So I returned that audiobook and I'm going to have to figure out which book I need and get it. They had limited Dresden options on the app.
However they had a lot of Doctor Who novelizations. I randomly picked on with the Fourth Doctor and Romana.
And inter library loan does have a fee but it's a dollar per request rather than paying part of postage both ways.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I've given up on Consider Phlebas
I managed to finish it, but it turned me off Banks forever.
