I would like someone to explain to me what all the rabbits mean. I feel like I'm missing something.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

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."

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
It was very rabbit-tastic, and I also have no idea why. (I kind of hate the cover picture for Hell Bent. It creeps my shit out.)

Oh, also:
And by interesting I might mean pretty hot.
I know that's right, baby.

The cover is very creepy and does not get less so after reading. It makes me think of T Kingfisher’s horror novels, although I haven’t gone to look at her covers to see if there is actual resemblance

The rabbits did make me think of Buffy, as did the vampire arguably with a soul, the hellmouth in the library, the other actual mouth that sent Darlington to hell when it ate him, and the red-headed scholarly witch. Not that I think that was the point if any of that, but it’s fun for me. As is Tripp’s Renfieldish dining habits and the image of Linus/Lionel walking through campus in the shade of a white umbrella carried by his companion. I can’t quite place what that reminds me of, I want to say a comic panel, but it’s charming.

Dang it. My March magazines appear to have arrived and I haven’t finished January yet. One more entertainment medium I fall behind in

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
It’s taking me forever to reread Ninth House because I’m having trouble concentrating on any books right now. However, I want to put my prediction for Hell Bent somewhere, which I’m even more convinced of by being 50% done with my reread. I think Darlington killed his parents I saw a lot of predictions after the first book that he killed his grandfather but that doesn’t quite ring true for me. Anyway, don’t tell me if I’m right or wrong.

You are either wrong or right! How about that?
I honestly read Hell Bent so quickly that I might need to go back and read it at a more leisurely pace. But I have If We Were Villains from the library, so I'm going to get to that first.

Oh, man, I do want to talk about all that but I can't think of any way to do it without spoilers, so let us try to remember to discuss the whole business of murderers and who they killed later

We’re reading The Paris Apartment, by Lucy Foley for my book group, and I’m having trouble getting into it. Not sure if it’s the book or me.
