Discussion Threads

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I remember when Shattered Silk came out, I was shopping with my mother's ... boyfriend? over-60 male friend ... who wanted advice on a present for my sister. I recommended Shattered Silk and he was doubtful, but went along. Christmas morning, she opened it ... by dinner time she was more than halfway through and he told me that it was a good choice.

And I'm sorry about the lack of occult bunnies. I don't think she does non-human ghosts/spirits.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I loved Shattered Silk. It came out when I was restoring antique women's whites and baby clothes--like it was written for *me*!

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

This is such a microscopically small concern in the grand scheme of things, but I am really looking forward to being able to read Red, White, and Royal Blue again without sobbing in despair for the last 50 pages.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, I recommended that to a friend a few days ago and then had to stop and say, "Maybe not right now."

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.

I have not read that; should I?

It's fun. It has a very fanfic vibe.

It's wonderful! But it ends with a fictional 2020 election and when I picked it up to reread early this summer I realized I just couldn't.

Now tagless for your comfort.

YESSSSSSS! Although Casey McQuiston has a new, queer SF book out that I am looking forward to reading, too.

I just finished video book talks for the library for the Murderbot series and for The Montague Siblings trilogy. Can't wait for those to post. I'm trying to decide which titles to do next.

I got my Murderbot books back from my 13 year old yesterday - decided I needed to refresh my memory on the whole series before I dove into #5.

Ooh she has a new book out?! I had no ide!
