I feel like we predicted this one.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There are literal tears streaming down my cheeks from suppressing a laughing fit over the scene with Nedry!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
That was comedy GOLD.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I enjoyed these.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I used to use Sir Terry's original of that very first line in the philosophy link as a tagline here, to wit...
Make a man a fire and it'll keep him warm all night, but light a man afire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Our wings are not tired.
So, I joined a Monthly Book Club group on FB, maybe to be more random about what I choose to read. I miss the F2F book clubs I have participated in previously. None of the June books were on my To Read list, so looking forward to seeing what happens.
The picks for June: Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney, Bed and Breakfast and Murder by Patti Larsen, Genesis Girl by Jennifer Bardsley, and The Ghost Writer by Alessandra Torre
First I need to finish The Bear and the Nightingale, which I just started.

I liked all three volumes of that trilogy! Vasya is my kind of heroine.

I'm only a couple chapters in, but it was a nice setup. Looking forward to seeing where it heads. Also, I prefer series because I can hang on to favored characters longer.
