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.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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 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.

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.

I was so utterly delighted when this notification popped up for me today!! I'd almost forgotten I was waiting for this book and now here it is!!
I'm currently listening to Bullshit Jobs which is alternately fascinating and infuriating. (Fascinating because I think his overall premise about the proliferation of bullshit jobs and their impact on our collective psyche is legitimate and well-observed. Infuriating because too many of his specific examples are just his white collar / academia friends whining.)

Nice! Adding it to my list. I still have to listen to the third one. I like them much better as audiobooks. I’m also enjoying the Murderbot books much better on audio.

I love the Murderbot audiobooks, possibly more than text (possibly not, I am not great at deciding what I like more) but I don't really like the dramatized versions with full casts. One of those series where I need to have multiple formats available at all times, apparently.

I’m listening to the ones with one narrator.
