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."

Oooh, that sounds like it might be all new, unrelated to any of her previous. How exciting!

I'm looking forward to reading that after I get the tree/apartment decorated.

Our wings are not tired.

I have book club via Zoom tonight for my NY club. My sister has a sinus infection and it was her book choice so I am pinch-hitting for leading discussion. Trevor Noah's Born a Crime, which was excellent. I should have listened to the audio book though as reviews say his narration was awesome. Even reading it you could hear his voice clearly. I'll see how the whole Zoom thing goes. All summer we had people joining remotely and it worked out okay.

As an FYI, when I sat down to finalize selections a month or so ago, I realized my reading selections made this next to impossible this year so I purposely started to read stuff I thought might be guessable. This included The Mirror & the Light, Rosemary's Baby, Women Talking, and The Woman in White, which were indeed among the seven guessed.
