Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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."

Because books.

I am honestly shocked Chuck Tingle didn't write that.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Not enough sexual innuendo for him.

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

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"

It's a murder mystery! Death in the Spires. I like it very much.

Well, I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have been asked by one of my Books colleagues to plug the Romantasy Deals promotion running this month. So here it is! Romantasy on sale!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Oooh, I’ll have to see if those intersect with anything on my shopping list.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Oh, half off on the LoA edition of Le Guin's Hainish stories!

That caught my eye, too! If that counts as “romantasy” I guess I am for it.
