that looks awesome!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

Caught up on Murderbot Diaries and oh my I really enjoy that so much. Going to listen to them all one after the other while I do yard work.
Meanwhile I *thought* I would read a novella real quick but it turns out The Priory of the Orange Tree is 800 pages long so I don't know where I got the idea it was short. It's got a fictional religion and dragons and a plague, though, so it's working for me. I'll just have to switch between the universes as needed.

I read Murderbot the other day. So good. I will have to go back and reread the whole series soon.
Right now I'm in comfort-reading mode, and I'm rereading all of Diane Duane's Rihannsu novels.

The new murderbot is next on my list! I'm so excited.
Yeah, "Priory" is ... not a light read.
I loved Rihannsu as a young teenager, I should go back to them again!

Herding cats for fun
I quite liked Priory of the Orange Tree. I knew I could finish it but waited for paperback due to weight. I'd recommend it for having strong female characters and presenting two tender, unexpected gay love stories.

E-book, which is why I apparently had no idea how long it was when I started it. I just finished Part I, so a lot still to go and I still have very little idea what is actually going on - I mean, I'm following the plot, I think, but there are a lot of secrets and mysteries

The status is NOT quo.
I also just read and loved the latest murderbot! I liked Priory, but I didn't love it for some reason.

Currently reading The 10,000 doors of January, which is really good and I recommend.

I want to read murderbot but haven't bought it yet. I got a few pages into the 10,000 doors the other day but couldn't stick to it and ended up pulling out Doomsday Book and re-reading that this weekend. So interesting given the times now.
