Xander ,'Beneath You'
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."
Yeah, I've been reading all of these books outside of my norms for Summer Reading Bingo purposes, and it's kind of killing me. I haven't even read Jasmine Guillory's new book yet!
And you don't even get a personal pan pizza! How much do I care about winning a pen, really?

I do love my library tote bag from when they expanded summer reading to include adults.
I read River of Teeth a while ago (it was on sale ... I have trouble resisting a sale and it sounded interesting). Western with hippos pretty well describes it. I liked it but wasn't driven to read anything else like it.
I liked River of Teeth well enough,but I loved Magic for Liars and Upright Women Wanted is a lot of fun

I would be into a tote bag!

Yes, I'm fond of my new library tote bag (though I needed another tote bag like a hole in the head) - but theirs was just 10 books - of my choosing! Easy-peasy!

I had Upright Women Wanted and Magic for Liars as "Want to Read" on Goodreads. But the reviews for Upright Women are warning me off because of the Western-ness. I'll have to check the reviews on Magic for Liars. I'm disappointed because I liked Sarah Gailey so much when they moderated that author event, I really wanted to like their books.
Oh - but I'm working on the Bingo because one row is good for 20 percent off purchase of a single book, blackout and/or books purchased at the store are raffle entries for a $100 gift cert.
Magic for Liars is not at all a Western, I guess it'd be urban fantasy? Upright Women Wanted is maybe a Western somewhat like Firefly is, I suppose. I am bad at categorizing.

Oh, that is hard! I hope you can get to it soon.
I agree with -t's assessment. Part of what I find off-putting with westerns is how dude-a-riffic they are, and Upright Women definitely doesn't have that going on. I guess it depends on what part of Westerns you tend to dislike.
Magic for Liars is...like a CW show, but rewritten to focus on the grownups. I liked it pretty well.
