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.

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."

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
And finally an interpretive dance.
I feel like this would be a legit option at my library.

Also for that book.

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

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

I would highly recommend it, -t.

I can pick up Ninth House at the library* tomorrow, but while I was waiting, I started reading A Marvellous Light, by Freya Marske. I'm really enjoying it. Plus I know there's a second book already out and a third on the way. I like knowing I have more to look forward to.
*(My therapist's office moved to a house 2 doors down from the library; both of them are diagonally across the street from my dentist; all of them are less than a mile from my house. You'd never think I live in an urban neighborhood 6 miles from downtown Cincinnati, for how much my neighborhood feels like Queer Mayberry.)
