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.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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."

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?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Thanks, David. I'm debating between this and The Bell, but waiting to hear if there are other suggestions.
