After I posted in here my signed copy of The Starless Sea arrived with a bonus keychain! I may try to start it tonight.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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."

The status is NOT quo.
I am also about 25% through Starless Sea!

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.

I went to Starbucks on the way home to sit for a little while, eat a croissant, drink Earl Grey it's soy milk honey & vanilla, and read another chapter of The Starless Sea. That was delightful

I started it last night. I didn't get very far before I was too tired, but so far it really is delightful.

I broke my reading block with My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite, and I highly recommend it. All of the chapters are two to three pages each; so, I found it impossible to put down.
