I've been rereading Gail Carrieager's Parasol Protectorate series. And a lot of fanfic. I just don't have the mental energy to meet a lot of new (fictional) people right now.
Murk: But you're a God! The Sacred Glorificus! Glory: I'm a God in exile. Far from the Hellfires of Home and sharing my body with an enemy that stabs my boys in their fleshy little stomachs!

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."

Now tagless for your comfort.
My boss love the Parasol Protectorate series.
I got some new manga and I'm powering through a YA biography of Bonnie & Clyde which is fascinating.
And of course, trying out new gay romance audio books. Joel Leslie as narrator is my woobie.

I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the Parasol Protectorate novels, because Ivy Hisselpenny is THE BEST.
(Dunno why I bounced off the tie-in YA novels, but the first didn't grab me and I haven't gotten around to the others.)

Argument with husband. He insists audiobooks are not "reading."
I will die on this hill.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Argument with husband. He insists audiobooks are not "reading."
Curiously I've heard this discussion many times with Laura Hillenbrand (who because of her CFS vertigo has issues reading, so listens to a ton of audiobooks).

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I don't really think of it as reading either, more like listening to a radio play.

Our wings are not tired.
I've had no success with audiobooks, so far, because they don't hold my focus. But they fall into the reading category for me anyway.
