The style is very different from most of what she's written before, but I really really enjoyed it. I'm not sure how much I would have gotten out of it if I didn't live in NY though.
Patron: That girl is a witch. Mal: Yeah, but she's our witch.

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
Yeah, I think that might be the crux of it for me.

There's a new KJ Charles book out today. Slippery Creatures, set in 1920s London. I'm a couple of chapters in and enjoying it immensely, as is usual for me with her books.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've just downloaded it and am looking forward to reading it. I love a lot of her books and hope this one stacks up to the ones I like.
I'm under a fair amount of stress - for once, not really related to the virus! - and I'm having problems reading anything new - I've been re-reading a lot, although I usually read new books on my e-reader.

I haven't started Slippery Creatures yet because I need to actually get shit done today. (Oh hey look, it's after 5! I can start reading now!)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I'm loading SC on my kindle now!
I've been reading magazines. It's been a lot easier to pick up and put down as my brain as been all over the place, struggling with longer reads.

This is why I've been reading YA and Star Trek novels...

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Fanfic, y'all. Fanfic.
Seriously all I've been reading for MONTHS. I have a pile of books from the library glaring balefully at me, and yet I am re-reading fanfic like it's my second job.
