Buffistas

I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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 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.

Because books.

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.

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

I have read a LOT of absolute garbage this year because it was available on Kindle Unlimited and I was trying to put myself on an eBook budget. So anytime something good is on sale, yes, snap it up!

I tried to stick to Kindle Unlimited, Jess, but unless I stumble across a whole series that I actually like that is all available there (which happened at least a couple of times and was awesome) I get discouraged after trying to wade through an unreadable mess that was in my "Picks for You" or whatever. And then because I tried it the author will keep showing up in my recommendations and I have to remember that, no, I do not recognize that name because I like them...

I started My Dark Vanessa this afternoon.

Because books.

Oooh! I want to read that too.

I have to always decide what I’m reading next or I lose my momentum.
