I do love my library tote bag from when they expanded summer reading to include adults.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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"
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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I liked River of Teeth well enough,but I loved Magic for Liars and Upright Women Wanted is a lot of fun

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

I haven't even read Jasmine Guillory's new book yet!
Oh, that is hard! I hope you can get to it soon.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

Now that is a review that I can work with!
