You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Perhaps the Liaden universe? [link] I was hooked several decades ago by Agent of Change, which is more action-adventure-y, but there are more fantasy and romance-y books in there as well.

Also consider anything by Diane Duane. Lots of series to choose from, in a variety of genres.

Ooooh. Also Janet Kagan is a favorite of mine, either Hellspark or Mirabile.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and then something called the Fourth Wing series, which I presume is this?

When I was in Borderlands last, my friend Eleanor was gleebling with two customers about this series. It is White Hot among a certain demo.

Apparently there's a very spicy Zaddy.

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

Megan, the ones you listed are the ones everyone is always squealing about on TikTok. I’m seconding Shadow and Bone/Six of Crows series by Leigh Bardugo. And maybe something by Lilith Saintcrow (she has a couple different series).

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

Yes, I've read both of the spicy duo. Lots of dragon sex. Or sex because of dragons. And silly teen angst.

gleebling

What does this even mean?

Apparently there's a very spicy Zaddy.

And this?

Wait, scratch that, I don't think I want to know what that means.

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

Shadow and Bone/Six of Crows

Six of Crows over Shadow and Bone would be my 2 cents

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I pre-ordered Paladin's Faith. Having a sleepless night, I saw it downloading at 12:33 am. I, of course, started on it right away. There are serious things going on, but I found some gems of humor early on. In this case, the Paladin is described as looking like he had a woodchuck latched to his jaw. Bishop Beartongue insisted he get a shave.
