'Potential'
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."
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.
Thanks, Amy! I'll definitely look into it
Suela, I seem to remember seeing it was about 400 years before Phantom Menace but I wouldn't swear to it.
Re: Ninth House -- I loved it so much. Highly recommend Aliette de Bodard's Fireheart Tiger novella I'm finally reading Alyssa Cole's An Extraordinary Union, just finished E. Lily Yu's On Fragile Waves and T. Kingfisher's A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking and other than a suggestion to maybe not read all of those simultaneously, they're all really good in very different ways.

When "Ninth House" first scrolled by my house, I thought you meant the series with Gideon the Ninth/Harrow the Ninth, and I only just got that y'all meant a whole different Ninth House. One where there's a Yale and not lesbian space necromancers (as far as I can tell from the description?)
So now I'm grabbing the Bardugo book, because I'm going to DIE OF DEATH before the third of the OTHER Ninth books comes out next year.
I have Fireheart Tiger up next in my TBR, nice to see it recommended
Would kind of like a Gideon the Ninth House crossover now
