We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

That's exactly how I got The Starless Sea. Living in the future

I'd pre-ordered it, forgot its release date and then, one day, it was there!

I love when that happens!

I just got Starless Sea from the library this AM and I'm about 25% of the way through.

After I posted in here my signed copy of The Starless Sea arrived with a bonus keychain! I may try to start it tonight.

Starless Sea is SO GOOD. It's a delight from beginning to end.

I binged through Emma Newman's Split World series I the last week. It was really well done and creative, and ended better than I feared. Good stuff.

I like Starless Sea a lot so far, but The Ten Thousand Doors of January has some striking similarities, and I think it's better. So read both!

Well, ok, I will!

I am finding I need to keep pausing The Starless Sea to, I don't know, let it sink in. This may take a while.
