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

The audiobooks of this series are SO GOOD. I was especially impressed with the narration in Harrow because the first-person narrator during the second-person narration bits was able to be exactly the right voice without being objectively spoilery. I suspected, but I didn't *know* until I was supposed to.

Utterly brilliant.

Ooh. I haven’t listened before, I am really looking forward to the experience (once I finish listening to MurderBot, which I am also enjoying very much)

Because books.

Oh man, that's awful, although not unexpected. She fought really hard.

She really did. She was trying to get into an experimental study until recently.

Today’s first vintage gothic romance indulgence: The Night of Four Hundred Rabbits by Barbara Michaels. Yes, I bought it for the title.

That looks good, Jilli! Adding it to my list.

... dammit, the rabbits are a symbol of drunkenness in Aztec mythology. Not bunnies with occult powers.

The book is fun, but I did have my hopes up for bunnies of the occult.
