Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Fair point

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

A spokesperson said: “With lockdown regulations giving rise to all manner of novel sexual practices, the judges anticipate a rash of entries next year. Authors are reminded that cybersex and other forms of home entertainment fall within the purview of this award. Scenes set in fields, parks or back yards, or indoors with the windows open and fewer than six people present will not be exempt from scrutiny.”

LOL

Now tagless for your comfort.

If any romance reading buffistas would like a t-shirt, I have a couple of the Ripped Bodice Fundraiser tees to give away (I ordered an extra one, they sent the wrong one, and then they sent the right one, so, extra tees!) I have a m/m and a f/f, soft grey short sleeved tee. Claim them and PM me and I will send them to you at no expense.

Examples are here [link]

"Mayor for Today" in the January Asimov's is good stuff. This Wilde writer is worth following...

Hee! I got very tense partway through, not seeing how the thing could be resolved. Very satisfying!

I know we've convinced a lot of people to try River of Teeth.

I did a book talk on it! [link]

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I came across this and thought it summed up reading pretty well.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Toddson, I absolutely love that.
