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

My almost-teen is trying to remember the name of a book: something about kids who go behind a waterfall in a car and get sucked into a video game or fantasy world? Google is getting me nowhere.

[edit - we found it! [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You should have searched on Ziggy Marley all along!

Started The Wedding Date on Sunday and am now partway through The Wedding Party. So good.

Because books.

I just started Sherry Thomas's A Study in Scarlet Women, and it's good! Another female Sherlock thing, but it's pretty clever.

Also reading The Ten Thousand Doors of January, and it's really wonderful.

Oh, sweet! Perfect timing for me

I have A Study in Scarlet Women in my audiobook queue - I'm looking forward to getting to it. I read a couple of sample chapters and liked that much...

Always Anti-fascist!

I found an interesting book because social distancing is boring. It's called "Skippy Dies" and takes place in an Irish prep school...came out in 2010 and I never knew about it...long but it's funny.

I've been reading The Wizard's Butler by Nathan Lowell and really enjoying it so far.

Our wings are not tired.

I wanna "like" so many posts and I can't! (It's fine! It always takes me a moment to adjust to forums vs. other forms of social media.)
