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

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.

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

I am almost to the level of Red, White and Royal Blue where I feel like if these guys don't get their HEA, I will BURN STUFF TO THE GROUND!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Finished Boyfriend Material last night and started Conventionally Yours today. These are pretty staid queer romances so they might make a great segue way for people who aren't into graphic sex scenes.

The MCs in Conventionally Yours play a game much like Magic the Gathering and play in a game shop so I am completely immersed in their world from the get go.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I finished Conventionally Yours over the weekend. I am working on a book talk for "entry level queer romances" with BM, CY and Red, White & Royal Blue as the books.

These would make a good transition for a YA reader looking for an easy transition to adult queer romance.

I was able to pick up Murder on Black Swan Lane on sale after all. It's quite absorbing, thanks for the rec!

A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking is hecka good if you are into that sort of thing.

Indeed. Particularly timely, although in her Author's Note she says that is a coincidence.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

oh, good! I have gotten into the habit of just buying everything she publishes (except for the horror).

Me too. Even the horror has proven not too nightmare-inducing for me! This title was so very enticing I might have got it even if I wasn't following her already, and it did not disappoint.
