I'm reading Connie Willie's Doomsday Book.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I've been reading the nominees for the Agatha Awards, given at Malice Domestic. Malice was supposed to be the first weekend in May, but has been postponed.
Current book is the latest in the Lady Georgianna series by Rhys Bowen.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I've been to anxious to read the past few days and have had no opportunity to listen to my audiobooks. I'm still working my way through The Dresden Files audiobook, and I was also listening to Elena Ferrante's My Brilliant Friend, and I was loving it.

Ha! No, Dana. It's a comfort reread (of a sort).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.
And, as of this weekend, K-12 workbooks.

LOL, I was tempted to re-read Domesday Book, but then thought it might be too much.
I just read my first Rhys Bowen book the other day, Sheryl! But it doesn't seem to be part of a series (In Farleigh Field).
I do suspect I may need to re-up my Kindle Unlimited subscription if this goes on very long...

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
What series, Cashmere?
Last year I stressread over 200 books (almost all gay romance). I am scraping the bottom of the barrel.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I tend to gravitate toward the dystopian. I started re-reading Station Eleven but I decided I should finish The Secret History since I'm already halfway through and because someone from work loaned it to me.
