Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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."

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

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.)

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

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.

There are a ton of books on sale right now on audible.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh! I'll have to look. I've really been enjoying audible.

No one ask me what I spent or how many unread audiobooks I already have.

I tell myself that if I stock up now I will buy less later but it's not true
