-t, Well, if that's the case - and you want something equally if not more batshit - try her Rejar. He's kind of oversexed ... and turns into a cat. The woman who takes him in, thinking he's a stray, talks about having him neutered (which he nopes out of ASAP).
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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."

For anyone who enjoyed Hands of the Emperor, I'm part of the way into The Return of Fitzroy Angursell and quite enjoying it. For one thing, there's a lot more action. Although the lead character is definitely the type who loves the drama. If he wasn't canonically quite dark-skinned, Tom Hiddleston would be a great casting choice.

Excellent, I have that on hold at the library, Suela.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Today the woman who cuts my hair asked if I had heard of Naomi Novik. "Hmmm, yes, I've read one or two things of hers."
I made it back to the car before I started laughing.

Interesting. I just read my first Heyer recently, but it was a contemporary (at the time it was written) mystery. I’ve read some random regency romances here and there and found it a little odd how not like Austen they were while being very much like each other.
