I would LOVE to hear their co-writing sessions.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, that's amazing. I have seen shout-outs to the family in Penny's book notes, and wondered how close they were.

I hadn't seen it mentioned on the board, but Laurence Ferlenghetti has died.

That’s what I’m going to read next! I’m excited
Today I finished reading Ngaio Marsh’s complete oeuvre. I feel like I should do something with the knowledge and opinions I have picked up other than thinking “Nice call back to A Man Lies Dead” when a glove button is found in the paddock in Last Ditch. I can advise that if anyone else wants to do it, either slot Money in the Morgue (which was finished by someone else from Marsh’s notes and a few chapters, per the afterword) after Died in the Wool or just skip it. I read it last and I was often thinking “Rory would never!” and maybe I wouldn’t after only 13 books instead of 32. I am now intensely curious about whether any of the unfinished ms made it into the final book unchanged.
So if anyone knows of a graduate program in Murder Mysteries I could apply to with my no-academic-background-in-literature-of-any-kind, let me know.
But now, T Kingfisher awaits!

You can believe I ordered that about five seconds after seeing it ... I'm in the middle of another book right now, but will start the Kingfisher right after.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have most? all? of Ngaio Marsh's stuff in paperback and can't decide if I want to keep it, or if I just want to get ebook copies of the ones I really like.

I pre-ordered so it just showed up on my reader. I love when that happens
Except two more books I forgot I had pre-ordered have showed up on my reader this morning and I still have the new Mag of F&SF to read - the pressure of the TBR pile, electronic version, mounts!

Always a difficult question with paperbacks, Dana. They (murder mysteries in general, although my mom did have a shelf full of Agatha Christies for a long time) were always fodder for the used book stores for me, which is where I usually got them in the first place so that made sense. I now have shiny matching covers in a folder on my reader, though, which is weirdly satisfying.
