I just got Camp Damascus and am ready to read it after finishing an ARC of KJ Charles’ The Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel. The Romney Marsh two parter is amazing.
Also finished Remarkably Bright Creatures.

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."

Our wings are not tired.
Remarkably Bright Creatures is this month's book club pick so I have to finish it before we meet Monday. Right now it is going slowly, but I am depending on it coming together.

I read Remarkably Bright Creatures a few months ago. Didn't like it as much as I anticipated, but what can you do...

Amy I picked up Needless Street last night based on your recommendation, and I could not put it down. I’m about a 3rd of the way through.

Because books.
I did not see most of it coming. LOVED.
I have read Hendrix and he's wonderful. Particularly liked I Southern Book Club.

Apparently I'm shit at formatting on my phone.

I have read two Hendrix where I loved the concept but hated the execution of it.

Amy, I finished the book last night. I saw most of it coming, but there were a few surprises.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
With the stuff of his that I've read (which I think is just Horrorstor and How to Sell a Haunted House), it works for me about 90%. Not quite a home run, but enough that several times during Haunted House, I said out loud, "Holy shit."
