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 like the aesthetic of both cottagecore and dark academia. But I’d like them to come with WiFi.

~t, with permission, I'd love to let Rick know he has a fan. (also stick around for a certain m-preg in space / espionage short story by someone who is likely me in July, maybe)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I learned to avoid the T. Kingfisher horror stories - read one and it seriously scared me; I was glad I was reading it during the day rather than at night. I do, however, love her other work, so I'll keep buying those.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Please do, hippocampus! And, of course, I will eagerly await July

Now this sounds more up my alley than baseball...I do these things for you all .... (also it was a lot of fun to write)
Another heads up is a Goblin Market meets high fashion during New York's social season story coming out next month in Uncanny...

IN other News, not about me: help my reading is going too slowly. I think I broke myself by reading The Obsession, which was recommended bc I'm looking for a romance/thriller for the syllabus and that is NOT what we will be using. Who's got recs.

For Murderbot fans, there's a short piece called Home online. I'm not reading the series, but I understand it falls between Exit Strategy and Network Effect.

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 like the aesthetic of both cottagecore and dark academia. But I’d like them to come with WiFi.
Not a router, but may I suggest this really spendy speaker?
