'Life of the Party'
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."
My library's open to patrons! It's been a year. I waved my arms in the air as I walked up to the door and I'm pretty sure my friend Helen was laughing her ass off over it, but the greeter was just as excited to see us. A stack of books 18 inches high now adorns the bench beside me - I would have hauled more out, but we were on foot; the Chanur collection is on top. Pyanfar is just the best.
I missed it so much.
That is so exciting! I'm very happy for you
Pyanfar is just the best.
She is entirely kickass, even when she's terrified.
I'm on the second in that series now. Quite enjoyable.
V. V., Plots and Counterplots was good fun if you like lurid tales of murder and revenge. I'm definitely interested in reading more of the stuff Alcott published anonymously/pseudonymously. And it does have a bit of detecting in it, although I wouldn't call it a detective story.
I suppose Wilkie Collins is next but Victories Greater Than Death and The Galaxy and the Ground Within are out, so that'll have to wait
I saw a meme (I guess it was) the other day. Over stills from the appropriate movies, it was along the lines of:
Harry Potter fans: I want to go to Hogwarts
Narnia fans: I want to go to Narnia
Hunger Game fans: no thanks, I'm good
Three romance novels written by Stacey Abrams (under the name Selena Montgomery) are being reissued. Story here.
That is so cool, Todd. I had no idea. Sending the link to my romance reading sister and niece.
I finished Courtney Milan's "When the Devil Comes Courting" ... what a journey it was. Parts of it are absolutely heartbreaking, other parts utter joy. sigh ... and how long will it be for the next one?
Fugitive Telemetry: Murderbot + murder mystery, is it my birthday? Love.
I ended up listening to most of Murderbot in the last week or so (my initial plan from ages ago to listen to all of it bit by bit while I did chores did not work out mainly because I kept finding that the chores distracted me too much from the story, so I have been listening on my breaks recently and I have to say there is something very satisfying about listening to Murderbot talk about watching media while it does whatever tasks in between doing my tasks) and I kinda wish I had known that Fugitive Telemetry takes place before Network Effect. Not that that is a problem, exactly, but next time (and I'm pretty sure there will be a next time before too long) I will try chronological order
Now, of course, I just want to curl up and watch Sanctuary Moon.
