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.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

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."

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.

Sunburn is so great -- it's a noir at the beach, basically.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Has anybody else gotten into Serial Box? I've been listening to Dead Air and I swear it's as if Winifred Burkle were the main character in a Gillian Flynn book.

Y'all, how did it not occur to me until now that there must be Red White and Royal Blue fanfic?? I mean, partly because the book itself satisfied so many of my hopes and dreams, it was itself kind of like fanfic. But there are 73 stories on AO3! Time to start reading!

Oh god, I'm just reading it now, and those boys are literally killing me.
