Whoever recommended KJ Charles' books, thank you! I'm on the second Will Darling book and thoroughly enjoying them.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
They're so good. I was lured in by the Magpie Lord series and went on to buy others. At this point, when a new K.J. Charles is announced, I pre-order ... and am delightfully surprised when it lands in my e-reader.

Same.
Speaking of female-led scifi, I suggested my book group read Gideon the Ninth this month, and they agreed. I'm not sure how the meme-y aspects are going to land with this particular group. Or the horror. At least the gay will go down a treat (which is one reason I've been in this book group for ~20 years). It's been fun re-reading it.

EVERY DAMN RELEASE. I can't recommend Wanted: A Gentleman, enough. Or the Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting. Or Unfit to Print.

I also need to thank whoever recommended "A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking". Great fun. Now I need to glom her backlist.

I can recommend Swordheart and the two Paladin books by Kingfisher. Also the Clockwork Boys and its associated sequel/prequel (which I'm drawing a blank on the title).

not your mom's socks.
Cashmere, I am the same about Cayce and Molly Millions (I want her to have her own book) and also the entire crew from The Peripheral.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Molly Millions
I think she had a substantial role in Mona Lisa Overdrive but it has been so long since I read that, I don't remember the details.

I think that actually made me just go ahead and read everything by T Kingfisher was The Seventh Bride. No duds, IMO
