Seemingly, T. Kingfisher's "Paladin's Grace" is on sale. If you haven't read it, it's delightful.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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."

All of T. Kingfisher's stuff is delightful, although I have avoided the horror bcz I'm a weenie.

Yeah, the horror is too horrifying for me - I got through one (reading only in the daytime) and decided no on any others. But the Paladins are good, the variations on fairy tales I've read I've enjoyed. I think Swordheart is at or near the top of my list.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Uhura's Song, an excellent Trek novel from the Pocket Books era, is on sale for 99 cents today.

One of the like, three books I kept when I pared down my collection many years ago! So good.

Sweet! Bought.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Uhura's Song was what introduced me to Janet Kagan. I am a fan of all her work.
She was one of the first authors I looked for online, back in '97. She posted some nice winter snowfall pictures on her web site, so I sent her a few of mine, and we exchanged a few emails from time to time after that.
If you haven't read Hellspark or Mirabile, I recommend them even more highly than Uhura's Song.

I bought Hellspark last time you recommended it, I think, dcp, but I haven’t read it yet. And I have a sample of Mirabile to remind me get it eventually

I think Uhura's Song is the one where Chekov complains, "All doctors are wampires."

I got Mirabile for my sister - who didn't like it as much as I did - and for myself. My hard copy has disappeared, but I got the e-book. Somehow, my hard copy of Hellspark is still around. I liked it, but not as much as Mirabile. I have high hopes for Uhura's Song.
