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

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.

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

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.

Our wings are not tired.

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

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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.

I have to read 23 more books by the end of the year to reach my reading goal. So I see a lot of novellas and graphic novels in my future.

Yeah, I read too many 500+ page novels and kind of blew my goal. No real regrets!
