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

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 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

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.

It's very: what if Regency England but feminists, sorcerers, talking gargoyles, and dangerous lords of the Fae? And also the environmental damage of untrammeled capitalism.
