Ten Thousand Doors of January was delightful! I'm so glad I read it on all y'all's rec! Did you know that erinaceous's sister repped the book? (I read acknowledgments)
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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 haven't read it yet, so no I didn't, but I did see Erinaceous referenced in "Because Internet", which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was up until 1 reading Catfishing on CatNet and now I am full of gronk.
Worth it, though.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I don't know how much people have been keeping up with the RWA v. Courtney Milan saga, but I cannot quite believe that today's development is that the president-elect of RWA lied about knowing Chuck Tingle.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Wait, what?
I'm almost impressed by the RWA's implosion. If they had deliberately said "Hey, let's self-destruct," it couldn't have happened this thoroughly. But here they are.

That makes slightly more sense than what I was imagining, actually. The whole Courtney Milan thing is so surreal, I am ready to believe just about anything
