I have been curious about that one as well.

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 also recommend Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas for dark academia.

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.
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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Harrietta Lee series by Stephanie Ahn.
I vaguely remember tearing through these in the middle of "reading everything to escape the real world" depression a month or so ago. Very enjoyable. I also really liked "The Epic Crush of Genie Lo", which is loosely based on legends of the Monkey King.

I read Claudia Gray's new Star Wars book this week, it's part of the new High Republic series. Pretty enjoyable, and she leaned pretty hard on the Jedi Code being kind of fucked up and unreasonable for helping Jedi be emotionally-healthy individuals. I am however unclear as to when it's set, other than "a long time before the Skywalker Saga".

I dunno about Hellblazer but I’m pro lesbians and urban fantasy, so I just bought the first one!

Okay, have finished Winter's Orbit (flare-up of tendonitis in my feet, I am icing every two hours, there is time to read). Politics that were nowhere to be seen in the AO3 version (and a whole lot more of them), considerably less evil monologing on the part of one character, more realistic fallout from the badness that happens to one of our heroes, and the other is still a sweet-natured hot mess, but can believably step up when he's handed something that matters. It's different enough that I'd at least grab it from the library.
