Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

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

I like it better, honestly. 9 books already out too. Davis is very regular in her publishing output! So far they all appear to be included in my Audible membership, which is nice (all the Falco books were except the penultimate one, I’m curious why that’s the case)

I just (literally a few minutes ago) figured out that at the beginning of this series Albia and her love interest are approximately the same ages as Helena and Falco were at the end of his series, which is an interesting choice for Next Generation. And that makes Helena only 12 years older than Albia, which I am having some trouble with. I guess I could have figured that out back in The Jupiter Myth if I had been paying attention, but I did not.

not your mom's socks.

Cat Valente’s audiobooks are pure joy. Space Opera included. I’m so excited for the sequel. And for Charlie Jane.

(Apologies if my posts are too positive - it’s been a really rough year and I’m so glad to be happy about anything. )

I think if bufffistas are allowed to be extra positive about anything it’s books.

Y’all speaking of gushing—I almost never like contemporary lesbian romances. They’re just so often bad. Or unrealistic. And usually not hot.

But I just devoured one and it was great! Satisfaction Guaranteed, by Karelia Stetz-Waters. Two thumbs up.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

I have started Victoria Goddard's The Hands of The Emperor and am really enjoying it - someone described it as "The Goblin Emperor from Csevet's POV, set in the South Pacific" and they aren't far off.

Mm, I like The Hands of the Emperor so much. Pops into my head as something to contemplate pretty often

ETA: ooh, novella prequel I haven’t read! Petty Treasons

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Hands of the Emperor looks so good--I wish they had it in trade paper.

Bev, can you see if your library has an electronic copy? That's how I'm reading it.
