Buffistas

Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I enjoyed City of Brass and that series and I believe the pirate are related somehow. It sounds even more fun!

I just finished The City of Brass a couple weeks ago and immediately bought The Kingdom of Copper and The Empire of Gold, though I haven't had time to read them yet.

I'm apparently in a fantasy con artist space right now because the previous books I read before The City of Brass were The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick and the first two books of The Gentleman Bastards series by Scott Lynch.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty.

Susan, I *just* bought this and can't wait to get to it. Buckle my swash.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

I LOVED "The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi"! I loved the characters, the plot, the snark, the humor — so much fun! I truly hope she writes the sequels the ending hints at.

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

Finally listened to Firewatch. I don’t think I am emotionally equipped to go right into Doomsday Book like I planned.

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

There are a couple dozen mass market Doctor Who novels at the bookstore today that I’m having a hard time convincing myself I don’t need to buy. They’re in near perfect condition.

Always Anti-fascist!

If you are looking for something...kind of ambitious(and have some time, because it's long), you could do worse than "Mount Chicago."

I have downloaded a sample of that to check out, sounds interesting

I had been putting off reading the last two (last as in most recent, not last as in there won't be any more) InCryptid novels because they are Alice-centric and Alice is not my favorite. I was kind of grumbling to myself all the way through that there was too much Prices and not enough cryptids in these. However, the last one also has a bonus story that is partly from the POV of an Aeslin Mouse and the Aeslin Mice *are* my favorite, so it's all worthwhile and thought I'd better say so here in case anyone else might need that story. Bonus Novella: Where His Waffles Went in Backpacking Through Bedlam

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm 4 books behind on the InCryptid novels. I missed both Sarah novels and both Alice novels. But they're on the TBR list.

Ooh I am at least one if not two InCryptid behind, good reminder.
