Jess, I'm so excited about the new book--the collection of shorts, right? Ratcatcher's Daughter is in that, and other delicious things only available on Kindle which I've not read.
Thank you Parker. I'll try to feel less guilt. (sheepish smile)
Love makes you do the wacky.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I can vouch for The Alice Network - I read it and enjoyed it a lot (although there were parts that made me wince). I've read most of Kate Quinn's WWII books and recently started her Diamond Eye. She also wrote The Rose Code, about three women working as code breakers at Bletchley Park.

I forgot about the shorts (title by our own Fay!) - I was talking about Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen

Oh yes, that too! A (wrote surfeit, which is untrue) plethora of riches!
It's been years since I read them but I loved Helen McInnes' WWII spy novels. I don't know if they'd hold up today, but if you like WWII spy books, and if you can find them, you might give them a try.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I can't wait for The Secret Life of Country Gentlemen! That will be part of a duology!
I'm almost done with Lavender House by AC Rosen and I still don't know who did it!! (It's a new, historical, queer noir mystery.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Pix, I have seen the name Brandon Sanderson bandied about but I haven’t been able to tell if he’s someone I want to read or not. The references always seem to be more about his fan base than books. Would this Tress be a good one to try out or is there a more or less standard beginning book I should jump back to?

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
I like almost all of his work, honestly. Tress is completely different than his "normal" stuff, but it's a lovely piece. I absolutely recommend it.
If you want to try one of his series, I recommend starting at the beginning of the Mistborn series with "The Final Empire." Alternatively, start the Stormlight series with "The Way of Kings." Both excellent.
But read Tress regardless.

I went to Savers today to drop some stuff off, but of course I had to shop with the coupon they gave me. I found the first five Spiderwick Chronicles for ltc in hardcover.
