Sweeeet booooooks!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've been on a Martha Wells kick: read The Wizard Hunters more or less at random, and only as I was looking for the next book in the series did I realize that The Element of Fire was set in the same world and I had in fact read it, so I went on to The Death of the Necromancer and Between Worlds before Ships of the Air and that was absolutely the right decision.

I'm not sure I want to open that can of worms. She's got an awful lot of published work to keep me busy. I'll keep that in mind, though, thanks! And I probably read her in the first p,lace off you recommendation way back when, so thanks for that, too

Our wings are not tired.

Truly an inspiration to so many. She made a difference in countless lives.

Because books.
I had no idea she was 88. She seemed so vital and so *young* always.
In other news, I just read my first Laura Lippman, Sunburn, and it was fantastic. Will be disappearing down that hole for a while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Laura Lippman is generally fantastic, and the reviews of her latest are rapturous.
RIP, Toni Morrison.
