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."

"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.

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).

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

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.

Well, let's hope this reading thing sticks since it looks like these suggestions may cover the next few Christmases and birthdays! Thanks, everyone.

It's funny how just as I started reading less and less my sister and niece have both taken it up with a vengeance.
