Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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 accidentally bought the first five books in the Temeraire series (I meant to buy only the first one for $1.99 -- the dangers of Distracted Shopping and Amazon's bevy of buttons to click) so ... I hope I like them? I loved the author's Sam and Dean fanfic so much...but I haven't had as much luck with some of her original fiction.

Our wings are not tired.

I really enjoyed the Temeraire series! I listened to the audio and could listen again.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think you could probably return them if you don't like them.

I love the whole Temeraire series and probably need to reread soon.

"Creative Types" romance series by Joanna Chambers and Sally Malcolm

I liked this series - fun but not the most memorable? Joanna Chambers is one of those authors I always *almost* love.

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

Yeah, that sounds right. I was trying to recall what I liked about the first thing of hers I read and I couldn’t remember anything except that I did like it.

I have a shiny new Cat Sebastian burning a hole in my Kindle and yet I keep choosing to read KU trash instead so I won't have to be finished with the Cat Sebastian book and not have it to look forward to anymore.

Oh, I know that game.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I have that on hold at the library!

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

I stupidly forgot my kindle at moms the other day, and I haven’t had the energy to drive up and get it. So, I had ltc pick a random book off my bookshelf for me because I couldn’t decide, and now I’m reading Amaya Witch and absolutely loving it. I told her she can read it when she gets to middle school.
