Have not read any of the Grishaverse, probably should.
Yes, you should. I love the Grishaverse so so so so much! And there is going to be a TV show based on it on Netflix in April.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

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."

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I love my local bookstore, I know that freight times are best guess right now, but 9 days is a long time to wait.
(Winter's Orbit, for the curious. Yes, I have The Course of Honour backed up in multiple places, but - is a book!)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
OK, then, I will get on that. (ETA Grishaverse, that is, although I am also getting a sample of Winter's Orbit to remind me to get that too)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, you should read A Deadly Education (Naomi Novak, first in The Scholomance series) for a different but very well thought out and highly enjoyable take on magical education.
I have been curious about that one as well.

Amy I saw the SBTB review of that and was wondering, how different is it from the AO3 version? Because I did love that one, and a few of the details in the review sounded slightly different, but not sure I need to buy if it’s 95% the same.

I also recommend Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas for dark academia.

meara, I am only four chapters in, but it looks as if she's digging more into the political aspects? So if that's not of interest to you, you might not need to buy. I will report back if my opinion on that changes!

I'm working my way through the Harrietta Lee series by Stephanie Ahn. I'm about halfway through book 2, Bloodbath. It's a series centered around a Korean American lesbian private eye in an urban fantasy NYC. It scratches my Hellblazer itch.
