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 finally got Piranesi from the library and read it in one sitting tonight.
SO GOOD. So beautifully written, despite the slow reveal of horror and trauma in the past. So many vivid gorgeous passages! So much kindness as well.
That's a very good book.
That is one of the few books I may have to read again. It was really unique.
Yes! I just read that myself and felt like I was under a spell the whole time I was reading it. It's so strange and beautiful and magical. It also made me want to go back and reread The Magician's Nephew, which was apparently one of her influences.
Oh wow- I love The Magician’s Nephew, so that makes me want to read it.
I've had that on hold at the library for like a year.
Oh, golly, yes, there's a bit in the beginning where someone drops the name Ketterley and I sat right up.
There are also bits of A Secret History as well, I think.
Finally got around to reading The City We Became and it was really good! Although I have cousins who grew up on Staten Island, so I have complicated feelings about Aislyn's choices...
I'm currently reading (hard copy) Plain Bad Heroines. I'd read the reviews and thought it sounded interesting, although I misunderstood what it was about. I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. It just seems to be going nowhere - I'm not sure what the author intended it to be about, although I'm willing to go along with it and see where it ends up. Anyone else have any perspective on it?
Seemingly, T. Kingfisher's "Paladin's Grace" is on sale. If you haven't read it, it's delightful.
All of T. Kingfisher's stuff is delightful, although I have avoided the horror bcz I'm a weenie.
