Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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

It's really dumb how much it's bugging me that I may have to read 27 in the "wrong" format!

Not dumb at all!! Format consistency throughout a series is important!

(See also, changing narrators midway through a series when the POV character is the same. DO NOT.)

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

Oh, yeah, that is unsettling

Now Chirp is having a big old sale. If anyone is not full up from Audible's big old sale.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Since the city's going to be swamped with tourists and hottern' ever, that sounds like a good way to spend tomorrow.

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home

Well, that just answered my question of what to read next!

It was!

If you're looking for something - I recently loaned a co-worker a boxed set (three books) of a series by Jenifer Lynn Barnes. The first is The Inheritance Games - a young woman who's grown up poor suddenly inherits a huge fortune from the richest man in Texas (the US?) who she doesn't know, isn't related and she has no idea why. There's a long series of puzzles that she - and some of the rich man's (disinherited) grandsons - have to solve to get more of an idea of why. It was written as a YA series, but it's enjoyable.

I read the first one of those and it was very good. The second or third (forget if I read the third) went a little overboard imo.
