There’s a new Penric this week
Tara ,'Get It Done'
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."
Since the city's going to be swamped with tourists and hottern' ever, that sounds like a good way to spend tomorrow.
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.
I just finished 2 books given to me as bday gifts (thanks, long holiday weekend!) How have I never read T. Kingfisher before?!?!? (Nettle & Bone and Thornhedge, before you ask) So freaking good!!!
Oh, you have so many good books to look forward to there!
Epic, now you have to read all the rest of them! May I suggest The Seventh Bride or A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking next.
Epic, there are some horror (or horror-leaning) books. I'd advise making sure you read those during the daytime.
