I love Door in the Hedge, too. It's retelling fairy tales, but Robin has a deft touch with it.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

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."

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I heart retold fairytales. RM showed up on my radar recently because of that but there were just so many books - having some specific refs from y’all is definitely going to help!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've been re-reading a lot - I don't seem to be able to read any new books except on my e-reader. I've found Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb books my go-tos (plus The Goblin Emperor ... and I would dearly love a sequel). The NR/JDR books are especially appreciated because someone actually copyedited them - I almost never find myself wanting to edit the text. And - in the NR books - she features dogs.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hooray!

Because books.
Nora always makes me feel a little warmer and more content. I've been tempted to reread her original (?) witch trilogy, the one with Dance Upon the Air.

Oh a goblin emperor sequel is so great, I didn’t know! Yay!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Help, I need manga recommendations for my 15 year old niece, and I don’t read it. Apparently that’s all she’ll read right now.
I'm glad Hec responded. I'd also like to add: Takane & Hana, Demon Prince of Momochi House, Shuriken & Pleats (2 volumes), Ne Ne Ne (1 volume), Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba, Haikyu!!, Prince Freya, Ice Knight, and Yona of the Dawn.
Definitely check thriftbooks.com for gently used copies--it's a great site for aftermarket manga.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm a little bummed that it's centered on a secondary character and we're unlikely to spend a lot of time with Maia and them, but I have a lot of faith in the author and am excited to be going back to the world

not your mom's socks.
Volans I swear I told you about Murderbot. Maybe while we were making you read Machina? If not? I have failed you.
Whoever said the Southern Book Club was not what they signed up for, I co-sign.
So far, The Space Between Worlds is still among my favorites this year. And Midnight Bargain. I finally read Tea Obrecht’s inland and liked it a lot. Now working on Shuggie Bain.
