I finished Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo last night. I absolutely loved it!
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

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."

I remember really disliking the writing style in The Hot Zone.
I thought The Coming Plague by Laurie Garrett was much more clearly presented and engaging to read.
And it appears that it is currently free in Kindle format: [link]

Volans, me too and now I’m out of new Bardugo to read except for the Grishaverse companion book about the lives of the saints. I can’t wait for the sequel to King of Scars to come out next year.

Because books.
It took me a minute to get into Ninth House, but once I did, I tore through it.
I think the only ones I won't reread are the original trilogy. But Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom and King of Scars? Yes, please.

The original trilogy is my least favorite, but I still really enjoyed them, and I’m looking forward to the Netflix series.

I loved them while reading them, too, but I just don't feel a need to go back. And yes, I am super excited about the Netflix series.

I don’t get all the fandom swooning over The Darkling. He’s a pretty irredeemable villain imo whereas Kaz is not.
