Immediately got the rec for that when I downloaded this one...
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."

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.

I knew I read number 3 and I am kicking myself over number 5, which I was 100 percent sure was Agatha Christie. I must have read that book 100 times, but probably not in 35 years!
