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.

I can pretty much count on not being able to actually recognize any, even if I happen to have read them recently, but I can at least nod to myself and say "oh, right" when I see the answers. And be reminded that I bought The Mirror & the Light almost 2 years ago and haven't read it yet, so I should get on that. Which is to say, always a fun read, megan!

I started it years ago and knew it had a good first line, but that is one I've only just started again. (I loved The Woman in White but it took up most of the month!)

After reading At the Feet of the Sun (pink sparkly hearts, by the way) I decided I needed to reread a bunch of the oeuvre and am currently towards the beginning of Till Human Voices Wake Us and Raphael is Damian's son!?!? (And Pharia's, but I barely know who she is and what I do know may be wrong) And Fitzroy/His Radiance/etc seems to only know him as that nice young Lord of Ysthar. (I think I read everything in an order such that that fact didn't mean much of anything to me the first time I read it). I have so many questions!
