Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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."
To be honest, I kind of wish I had just read the new one cold so I would know what it was like that way - I suspect it would probably be fine. OTOH, it starts not long after the end of Network Effect, so having that fresh in your mind is nice. I *like* rereading all of them but I doubt it's really necessary, as such.
I found myself thinking about Witch King as I was finishing up System Collapse, so I just rolled on and read that one again, too. I like it better every time I reread it.
T Kingfisher's Paladin's Faith (book 4 in the Saint of Steel series) is now available to pre-order on Amazon.
Sweet! Coming in December, not long too wait!
And there's new Naomi Kritzer, Liberty's Daughter. I was reading the short stories in this setting in a magazine back in the day (which was possibly not that long ago, I really don't remember when this was) and loooooved them, so I am very excited to get a novel!
Eta - should perhaps disclaim, has nothing to do with CatNet so far as I know
December!?!?!?! YAY!
Well, I clicked on that pre-order right away.
I read a book this week...it was strange, but I loved it. [link]

I glad to see I was right. I think having six guessed on the first day may be a record.
Several years ago, at a previous job, I was friendly with a co-worker. We both had a taste for old books and, one day, I asked him what he was reading and he said I probably had never heard of it. When he said "Scaramouche" I quoted the first line to him, which he found a little surprising. Well, it IS one of the great opening lines ....
