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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So, I didn't really mean to read The Heir Affair in 24 hours but here we are. It's fun! Partly for the nostalgia, if that's the right word, for a world in which Royal Family sex scandals would be big news. I went into it thinking it'd be a rom-com but it's more of a soap opera

Our wings are not tired.

Fun is good!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I was thinking I had read this but when I went to Goodreads to look it up, it wasn't at all familiar. Then I realized I'm thinking of The Eyre Affair, which is not the same thing at all. So weird that I managed to fall victim to a homonym, even though the words are written!

Oh, funny! Do you hear what you are reading in your head? I do, so I can see me mixing those two up - I think it might be even more likely now that you've pointed it out...

Apparently I do - I never really thought of it before!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Alexis Hall's Boyfriend Material dropped Tuesday night. I'm halfway through. VERY romantic and funny (like most of Hall's work)but surprisingly chaste. He's definitely widening his demographic with this one.

The audio narrator is a doll. MUCH Welsh accent! OOOOOF.

Ooh, good to know!

I've started listening to Emma and I think I may need to rewatch Clueless.

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

I finished it this morning and found it completely adorable. Will probably listen to the audiobook at some point.
