Yep yep. All of the above, and romance novels.

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 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.

So. Much. Fanfic.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Alllll the fanfic. So comforting. So soothing.

Thrive to spite them
I am just plowing away at fanfic. I keep staying in my comfort categories but that is all I'm reading.
Although I keep stumbling on stories that I didn't check to see if they were finished and getting really into something that hasn't been updated in years.

Romance novels and fanfic are essential services.

Because books.
I've been reading Cat Sebastian and delving into some historical romance I've never tried. I want to get Slippery Creatures, but I still have a bunch of KJ Charles I haven't read yet. I think I'm afraid I won't love any as much as I loved the Society of Gentlemen series.
I also need to get back to Tyack and Frain!

I think I need to dive back into fanfic. I stalled halfway through *The Ruins* and haven't felt like starting up any new novels until I finish that one.

This is a valid concern.

Because books.
It was my intro to KJ Charles, and it couldn't have been more perfect. I have the first Sins of the Cities book, and the first Magpie book, I think. (Kindle sales for $1.99 are dangerous, because I forget what I impulse buy. Which is a lot.)
My sad for right now is I'm having trouble with Cat Sebastian's latest, A Delicate Deception. I like Amelia and Sydney but it's just ... sort of meandering without a clear focus. And Sydney's background could have been better outlined -- who's related to who, and who's dead, and who's so and so's father, and who used to be a lover. It's all a little confusing. Or it could be that I have no attention span right now.
