Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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

Apparently I read more fantasy novels than science fiction? Who knew

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My friend has another short story out. Fetch Us Another Round

This is the same friend who wrote Inks, Jinks.

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

I highly recommend that book.

Now tagless for your comfort.

A readers' advisory consultant at work told us that when the world is a garbage fire, two genres of books increase in readership: romance and dystopian fiction.

One, because people want to lose themselves in happy endings, the other, because they want to know it could be worse.

I just got my second $20 amazon gift card for listening to my 3rd romance novel on audible this month.

I'm finding I gravitate toward murder mysteries lately, some good old-fashioned order-being-established-after-chaos

Yes I'm all about escapist romance and mysteries where the bad guy is caught and all is well in the end!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I haven't been a big mystery reader, but I found a series about a cop in Honolulu who is trying to solve a murder and comes out as gay. The whole series is kind of fun. It's only a little sexy and the mysteries aren't too difficult to figure out but I'm on the fourth book in the series so I like it.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm nearly finished the first of the Dresden Files series. I don't know what I was expecting, but I am finding it amusing. A plus for me is it having a bunch in the series.
