It's a murder mystery! Death in the Spires. I like it very much.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

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."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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!

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, I whipped through the K.J. Charles this weekend. Finished it Sunday evening ... leaving me with the rest of the evening/night to fill. It's good - set in Oxford, seven good friends, one of whom is murdered. And the big question is, of course, who and why. I had thought it would be someone else (and I'm not entirely buying the "who"), but it does bring some closure.

I read an ARC of "Death in the Spires" and also have some questions/issues about the who. We only have their word for how the murder went down and, while I get why the others accept it, I'm not sure I do. Or maybe I think it would be more fun if the murder were more planned as a sign of sociopathy. Anyway, I've thought a lot (probably too much) about it since I read it.

Wait, y’all think Jem is wrong about whodunnit? I would like to hear more.

I'm willing to accept it, since we got a confession, But I'd be willing to accept that someone else did it - even a suicide.
