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

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."

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.

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

Has anyone here read Kelley Armstrong, and, if so, is there a particular book you'd recommend? She's going to be at a book festival I'm going to in a couple of weeks, and I thought I'd try to read something by her beforehand.

Because books.
I read a lot of her first series, and I think the first book was Dime Store Magic? But it was about a werewolf, so I think that's wrong. Bitten, maybe? I have to check. She created a whole universe, and the early books were really enjoyable.
Yeah, its Women of the Otherworld and it starts with Bitten.

Hey. New board.
Just finished Chuck Wendig's Zeroes . Pretty fun sci-fi thriller. Didn't understand the epilogue ending one bit, but didn't connect to rest so that's fine.

I never read Iris Murdoch and want to try her books. Any recommendations where to start?
