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."

Key West Literary Seminar

Driving to the dog park this morning NPR had a story on the Key West Literary Seminar! I may have said out loud that I knew someone there. It was in the top 5 stories at the top of the hour. It sounded like it was amazing.

What a delight to listen to her! I wondered how you were doing on the coldest night of the year!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I’ve started my reread of Ninth House. I listened to the audiobook the first time around. This time around I’m reading it on my kindle.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I’ve started my reread of Ninth House. I listened to the audiobook the first time around. This time around I’m reading it on my kindle.

Next time read it in Braille! Then...have somebody relay the story to you via semaphore. And finally an interpretive dance.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

And finally an interpretive dance.

I feel like this would be a legit option at my library.

Would watch the interpretive dance version

Would probably also be interested in the semaphore version if I'm being honest. Although I probably would not make it through the whole thing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Okay now I’m going to be picturing interpretive dance throughout this reread. The narrator that does most of Leigh Bardugo’s books is so good that I prefer to read her books in audio form.

Oh really? I was thinking about getting the audiobook to refresh my memory of Ninth House already, you've just made that more likely
