Discussion Threads

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 that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Shir I will try to read that soon

Yay!

are you the author?

Oh no. Really not. I am absolutely not an SFF writer. Not even a fanfic writer. The author is a friend and a really awesome person. Most of all, I'm excited about the opportunity to discuss original Israeli SFF writing here - so much of what I'm reading is local, and a lot of it is fantastic and I want to share it with the world. This is just a really good book and a great opportunity to do so.

Always Anti-fascist!

I read an interesting memoir this month. [link]

My link was wrong.(Sometimes it comforts me to remember that I saw one of html's creators on TV once, and he said in a dry British way, that if he knew ordinary people would be using it, he'd have made addresses shorter.) Here it is, the right way. [link]

Hey. New board.

I just finished Seanan McGuire's Middlegame. It is definitely one of the most ambitiously complex books she has done yet, and felt like one of the longest too. I recommend it for sure.

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

I finally have my hands on the latest Mercy Thompson novel from the library.

I just finished Seanan McGuire's Middlegame. It is definitely one of the most ambitiously complex books she has done yet, and felt like one of the longest too. I recommend it for sure.

I read it in almost one sitting (I hit about 11:30 p.m. and couldn't keep my eyes open, so I had to finish the last 50 pages or so the next day). I really enjoyed it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Based on y'all's enthusiasm, I listened to Middlegame over the weekend. I think I'm going to have to read it again - by about halfway through I was pretty sure I'd missed a lot of what-is-even-happening clues.

I'm of two minds about Amber Benson's reading. Some of her character vocal choices were more distracting than immersive for me.

I'm not sure I would be able to follow Middlegame if I listened to it. There were a lot of places I had to flip back and forth between chapters to follow a thread.

Yeah, that was a problem.

I'm still doing my Dresden Files listen. I'm currently on book 7 of the series. And I finished reading Jade City this week, which I highly recommend.
