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.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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."

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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!)

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...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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.
