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 really enjoyed that one, it was charming. And the BF isn't a tool (I didn't like the BF in The Wedding Date that much).

I just found out that someone has released a parody version of Marie Kondo's lifestyle advice book called Tidy the F*ck Up: The American Art of Organizing Your Sh*t, by Messie Condo.

Our wings are not tired.

Thanks for that, epic! I liked Proposal more than Wedding Date too. The funny thing about her books is that they sound exactly like her. After her first book came out, we were having dinner and she was nervous about whether the second book would be as well-received and I was like, "of course it will be, because they're like having a conversation with you!"

Hah, whereas I think wedding date (which I just reread) is still my fave of hers. It just feels like real people.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I've been doing a Hugos read, and just read Light Brigade. Anyone else read it? I enjoyed it, though the ending wasn't as satisfying as I would have liked. Would still recommend.

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

I loved The Stars Are Legion but I haven't been able to get into any of Hurley's other work. It's too dense and something for my brain.
