I would be into a tote bag!

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And you don't even get a personal pan pizza! How much do I care about winning a pen, really?

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 liked River of Teeth well enough,but I loved Magic for Liars and Upright Women Wanted is a lot of fun
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yes to all of this.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Clock Star Rose Spine got some nice blurbs, including one from Samuel R. Delany.
I just started reading. The line "Exact change is required" made me laugh.

I loved River of Teeth and pretty much everything I have read by Gailey.
