I loved Raven Tower so much.
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

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."

Raven Tower was fantastic.
The third Wayfarer book was my least favorite of the trilogy, but I still liked it a lot.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, the "the third one was the worst but I still liked it" consensus is sad for me, because the second one was one of the most powerful emotional experiences I've had in years.

Ooh! I'm currently reading Jemisin's How Long To Black Future Month, which is excellent.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, I've been reading some Octavia Butler, and really struggling with it. I guess it's a maternal hormones thing, but the violence in the Patternist series got to me to a point that I just couldn't (and this as someone who has read all of ASoIaF). I'm keeping on keeping on with the Lilith books, but I can see where I might need to stop.
Seems like I may need to radically change my reading habits for a while.

Man, the new T Kingfisher (The Twisted Ones) and Theodora Goss (The Sinister Mystery of the Mesmerizing Girl) both dropped last night and I have to work instead of reading either one! Unfair.

BTW, the narrator of The Twisted Ones is an editor and every time she mentions semicolons I think of Teppy

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Pix, it's "In the Shadow of Spindrift House" - strong Lovecraft influences. Good and creepy.
