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!
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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."

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.

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

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.

My new Le Guin book arrived today, the LoA edition of Annals of the Western Shore, and it is very much an example of "Right action is rewarded - not immediately, not necessarily to the actor's personal benefit, not without changing the actor, but the world is affected for the better by it". Which is certainly something I need to be reminded of in the present moment.
(Plus the cover photo is from the documentary about her, walking along the shore at Cannon Beach, which is one of my favorite places in the world. The voiceover for that segment is her reciting a bit from Always Coming Home that made me ugly cry - it wasn't that long after she'd died.)
