Thank you, Cashmere!
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Because books.
As usual, I'm reading books way past their debuts, and I just started The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Groff. Anyone else read it?

Amy, that looks good and it turns out I already own the ebook.
I just finished Catherine House which was so good if you like dark academia.

Oh, that's on my wish list! It looks like exactly my thing.

Way to post and forget half of what I was going to say! I Monsters is big and complex but wonderful. I live everything about it so far.
And Kindle $1.99 deals are an indulgence I always allow myself, so I have a zillion books on my Kindle I haven't read yet. The problem is I forget t they're there, so every once in a while I have to scroll through the whole list.

I don't remember hearing about Monsters of Templeton but that sounds interesting. For $1.99? Twist my arm. Why does Lauren Groff sound familiar?
My January magazines just started popping up on my kindle, I don't need to be buying new books. I will have to give myself a stern talking to.

No, I have it in paperback, it wasn't a Kindle deal. For me! It might have been at some point.

Amy is me, if it is $1.99 or less on kindle and I’m even vaguely interested in it, I buy it. Then I can always find something for whatever reading mood I’m in.

Sorry, yes, I *did* buy it today because it is $1.99 and I will say "why not?" to a lot of things at that price. Up to $4.99, really, although that adds up fast and I should not be so spendthrifty. I looked it up because y'all were talking about it but not specifically because I expected it to be $1.99.
