OMG the Hard Button!
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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."

Gold star, Consuela! I did not but I felt bad about cheating.
I'm reading the new Louise Penny and some of the interpersonal relationships/conflicts are stressing me out. There's a reference to something that happened in a previous book that I, of course, do not remember because my memory is for shit and googling is not bringing up a helpful fandom maintained wiki I can look it up in! Sci-fi and fantasy have really spoiled me

Hey. New board.
I apparently unsubscribed accidentally and missed like two months of this thread. Oops.
I just discovered a new October Daye book on my kindle I forgot I preordered! That's exciting.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I love it when that happens. I mark it in my ledger when I order, so it's like hey, free book by an author I love when the book appears.

I"m reading that series in iBook format (Apple Books? Whatever they call it) and they send me a helpful email when the pre-order becomes available and that is often around 9 pm my time, just in time for me to start reading before bed and stay up too late reading...it's a pretty sweet set up, really
Exciting developments in this one! It's actually inspired me to start rereading in internal chronological order (including short stories when I already have them or can find them easily) and I just got up to Rosemary and Rue. I'm dithering about whether to listen to the audiobook or read the e-book. I think I want to listen but I am still listening to Sense and Sensibility so I will probably finish that first - the Dashwood girls' love lives just got interesting

Oh is there a new one out now? I'll have to go look....I'm cheap though, so will likely wait for the library. Or at least paperback prices.

Book #14, can you believe that?

Hey. New board.
Seriously, and i think we're up to 8 in Incryptid, and she's written, what, four other shorter series? Feed, Pandemic (?), the one with the children who go through doors, Sparrow Road and it's sequel. I'm probably even missing some.
I'm 37. When I was 21, I was still a beta reader for her (for two books that have never been published and were also great). Would have been published for the first time a couple years later. That tracks with one Toby book a year. But damn, that's about 2.5 books a year on average.
Eta I didn't even remember the awesome ones with the fairy tale detective service, the Velveteen books, etc. Jesus she is prolific.
Eta2: okay I looked it up. 48 books published since 2009. So that's actually a bit over 4.5 books published per year on average. I can't even. She clearly had a Toby backlog before getting a publishing deal because the first five were published on a twice a year schedule, March and September. Since then it's been once a year in September, with Incryptid taking the March spot.
