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

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.)

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"
Interesting twitter thread ( #publishingpaidme ) on the differences between advances received by whites with those received by blacks and people of color. Also a spreadsheet gathering more in-depth data at [link] . Discouraging, but not surprising, alas.

Started listening to A Study in Scarlet Women recently and got to Holmes and Watson meeting yesterday and I have to say that was brilliantly done. The playing with canon is pretty great in general.

I thoroughly enjoyed that series.

Because books.
I agree!

I started listening to A Conspiracy in Belgravia yesterday and then I started reading The Angel of the Crows today, not realizing that was another alterna-Holmes story. I wonder if I can manage switching between them...

I'm glad to know you do that, too. I sometimes read several books at once, and choose which book to pick up based on my mood. Right now I'm reading The Ten Thousand Doors of January as well as A Conspiracy in Belgravia, and I also started The Immortalists.

I used to read multiple books at once, but don't sem to be able to do that anymore! That said, The Ten Thousand Doors of January was an awesome read.
