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."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I liked both those Jane Harper books too!

Because books.

I love Deborah Crombie's series, and you could liken her to Louise Penny.

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

I am laughing at Dr Seward complaining about having to write his diary with a pen like a chump. Such a tech bro!

Man, I hate it when I read the Dracula Daily email on my phone and it cuts off at a point that seems like it could be the end of that day but the next day I have clearly missed A LOT because there was more post that I didn’t see.

So, really enjoyed Dracula Daily and mis it now that it's done for the year. Skimmed through some of the other serialized things that are available but nothing is grabbing me - I really like how the Dracula posts were tied to the date in the narrative and I'm not seeing anything else with that kind of organizing principle. Anyone signed up for anything they recommend?

Speaking of my looming TBR pile, I recently finally read By the Book - it's Jasmine Guillory so you know going in it's going to be good but all the little Beauty and the Beast flourishes are particularly delightful

Our wings are not tired.

Awww I’ll tell her! I haven’t read it but it’s on my coffee table ready for Thanksgiving break.
