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.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think I'm afraid I won't love any as much as I loved the Society of Gentlemen series.
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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
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.
Ignore those library books. They'll still be there.
I also need to get back to Tyack and Frain!
Harper Fox is releasing the latest in installments on Patreon. OMG!
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.
So much good there.
I've a mind to send you Alexis Hall's The Affair of the Mysterious Letter. Not a romance, but good lord, it's a juicy, wordalicious fantasy take on Holmes and Watson that blew me away.

That is extremely true for me, too.
I'm trying really hard to read some of my electronic TBR pile. I've started a few and been kinda meh on them but didn't want to get rid of them because sometimes lately reading something I don't care anything at all about is exactly what I want to do...

Oh, The Affair of the Mysterious Letter is a lot of fun!

I keep getting Book Deal alerts and buy so many kindle books higgely-piggely that it's going to take years for me to plow through them.

It's the things an interesting review of and I go to look at them and, hey, on sale, so I get it but I'm not going to read it right now because in the middle of whatever and then when I'm scrolling through my library later I can't remember why I bought it that are my real problem.
But I think that's how I got The Affair of the Mysterious Letter, so, you know, not gonna stop.

My biggest problem is I'm very visual. So if it's out of sight, it's definitely out of mind. There are books on my Kindle I've tried to buy twice because I forgot there were there.

That sounds like the kind of mystery I like! I also need to eventually range Jonathan Strange and ... whatever whatever.

Taking note! The last couple of "takes" on Holmes I've read were major letdowns.
