I am also about 25% through Starless Sea!
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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."

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!

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.

I just put that to next on my Nook list. Looking forward to it.
