Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

"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

That which does not kill you should RUN

The unread books in my Kindle and Kobo apps are in the corner with your unread audiobooks, judging us.

I also have a huge list of unread kindle books and unread physical books. Teacup has a ton of unread books as well and a couple dozen unread kindle books. She will devour one series at a time. Her current series is out of print and not available on kindle. So, I have to keep looking around for them.
