Apparently I read more fantasy novels than science fiction? Who knew
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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

"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'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!

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.
