I recently read an e-book, "Just One Damn Thing After Another", in which historians time-travel back to observe events in real time. It was quite entertaining. I was pulled in by the line, "Exactly how far can you fling a dead cow?" (determining the range of a trebuchet). It struck me as a very Buffista book.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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
Just One Damn Thing After Another
I think Suela was the one who recommended that series to me a few years ago, so yes, a very Buffista book!

Our wings are not tired.
Just One Damn Thing After Another
I'm reading my 15th in this series, which is notated as #8 because there are so many short stories (7.5, 7.6, 7.7). It's a challenge to read in order! Anyway, currently on And the Rest is History, which is kinda rough at the moment, but I am committed to the series at this point.

Oh, hey, I read that not too long ago but haven't gone any further on the series yet. I expect I'll pick up the next one at some point.

Oh yes I read a few of those books a couple years ago and keep seeing there's more.

Oh that series is a ton of fun. Jodi Taylor I think? There's a couple of dark moments, in the middle, but stick it out. Worth it! I enjoy the hell out of all of the full length and novellas.

Because books.
Has anyone tried the historical mysteries by Andrea Penrose? The first one is Murder on Black Swan Lane. I'm going to dive in while I wait for my hold on the third Sherry Thomas.

Historical mysteries remain my best comfort food.

Amy I have read them! And now in looking them up see there's a new one coming out. I enjoyed them, though I tend to like that subgenre of fancy historic ladies solving crimes (see also: Lady Darby, Lady Emily, Lady Julia...)
