I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

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."

Hey. New board.

I will be done in approximately 23 months if its anything like the last one.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Were people aware of Goodnight Dune?

Herding cats for fun

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

Yay! I decided that now is the time to finally read The Testaments, but I'm sure I can switch into thinking-about-Piranesi mode with no trouble

Whoever suggested Princess Pulverizer books for ltc, thank you! They're fantastic!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Me! Yay! A new one just came out! Aren't they hilarious?

Also, try the Kitty series!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thank you, again Cash! We're only on the first one, but she got the boxed set for her birthday after I added it to her wishlist.

Maybe I'll get her one of the Kitty books for Halloween.

We were trying the newer Amelia Bedelia chapter books, but ltc wasn't getting the puns so they weren't keeping her attention. I'll put those aside for her to read when she's a little older. They're very different from the Amelia Bedelia's I read as a kid.

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

I finally got around to reading (listening to) Gideon the Ninth and WOW. So good! Starting the sequel as soon as I can log off from work today.

Also literally the first thing I've been able to get through since March that isn't romance or fanfic, so yay me.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yes! That was a fun one. I'm approaching the top of the waitlist for Harrow at the library, and looking forward to it. I do expect it will be less Agatha Christie than Gideon, which makes me a little sad.
