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.

Because books.
I loved The Once and Future Witches so much, I want to shout it from rooftops and give copies to every woman I know. If you haven't read it, and you're up for a gloriously fierce celebration of womanhood that is so especially relevant right now, READ IT.

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

I should reread as I am in a less anxious mood re: politics these days and that would no doubt color the experience.

Dang, adds another to my to read list. eta: I loved The Ten Thousand Doors of January so much that I have to prioritize this.

I just finished Sarah Tolmie's The Fourth Island. I want to shove it at my friend Helen, who is from Ireland, and talk about how it reminds me of everything from the Irish play series she and her husband were presenting in the Before Times.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
My reading has slowed down significantly and a lot of my new reading material is electronic, which makes it difficult to read before I go to sleep - I sleep in little cotton gloves to keep my hands soft and moisturized, especially since I wash them a lot, and the e-reader does NOT respond to gloved fingers.

Toddson, I use a Space Pen with a rubberized stylus tip at one end with my Nooks; might something similar work for you?

I find that with gloves on I need to tap on the Nook instead of trying to swipe.
