Whoever recommended KJ Charles' books, thank you! I'm on the second Will Darling book and thoroughly enjoying them.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

Oh, you are in for some treats, bennet!

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
