I'm vaguely annoyed that I ordered Allie Brosh's book through a local (but not walkable) bookstore as part of a special event and I don't have it yet, but I also have multiple library books I need to read ASAP.

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."

Of course it came in today's mail! AND I was one of the first whatever number of registrants for the event, so I also got a special print!

Next week ICON SFF festival will take place virtually via live streaming, and there are two live events with authors (in English) that might interest some of you. The first is a conversation with Daryl Gregory and Kelly Link (Monday, 5/10, 10:00pm Israel time), and the other is a conversation with Stephanie Burgis (Tuesday, 6/10, 4:00pm Israel time). The website is mostly in Hebrew, but I can help interested parties to buy tickets and access the live stream.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

How wonderful! Well deserved, for sure
