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."

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

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.

Oooh, that looks good. Adding it to my list too.

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.

Because books.

Has anyone tried Joanne Chambers for m/m historical romance in ebook?

Our wings are not tired.

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

My embarrassment is that I somehow surpassed my goal and read 237 books this year. I kept saying I could tell how depressed I was by how many books I read! I am now trying to read some more challenging material.

I loved 10k Doors of January, I'm struggling with Starless Sea and I think it's because I'm trying to novel and read, and I really liked a book that people are hating (9th House) -- weird.

I miss you all a lot.

People are hating 9th House? I haven't started it yet, but I am looking forward to it.

I finished Starless Sea. I liked it, but I didn't love it. Too many threads for me to follow, I think. Ten Thousand Doors of January is still definitely my favorite.

Similarly, I liked Gideon the Ninth but didn't love it (definitely didn't hate it — I'd heard nothing but raves before I read it). I like my books with a little more exposition.

The Starless Sea doesn't trump The Night Circus for me, but then the only way The Night Circus could have been more aimed at me was if it had vampires.
