Ooh, that sounds fun!
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."
I’m almost done with the first Fourth Wing book. Meara, it isn’t really the plotting or such that I’m having a problem with. It’s predictable in places and definitely is derivative of a bunch of other books, but it’s the actual writing itself that is really annoying me. When I read on my kindle I tend to underline particularly fun turns of phrases or just sentences I really enjoy and 80% of the way through this book the only stuff I have underlined are plot points and world building that I expect to be important later, but the use of language itself is just very dull.
There's a new T. Kingfisher horror novel out.
Oooh, thanks for the reminder, Toddson! I preordered it ages ago. So, it should be waiting for me on my kindle tonight!
I was reading Ask A Manager and this was mentioned. um ....
*snerk*
Thanks for the laugh-snort, Todd!
I am honestly shocked Chuck Tingle didn't write that.
Not enough sexual innuendo for him.
I finally (I say finally, but I don’t actually remember when it came out, maybe not that long ago) read The Bone Harp, a standalone novel from Victoria Goddard that is not connected to the Nine Worlds. It’s described as “A Tale of Elfland”, and those would be Tolkeinesque and particularly Silmarilliony elves, which I wouldn’t have thought I was hungry for but very much enjoyed. Took me a bit to get into it, as new universes often do, but the story is a good one and by the end I was desperately invested in the characters
There's a new K.J. Charles on Amazon - "The Spires"
