Since the city's going to be swamped with tourists and hottern' ever, that sounds like a good way to spend tomorrow.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

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."

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
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!!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, you have so many good books to look forward to there!

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

Oh epic you’re in for some treats!! I am not a horror fan so have not read any of those but am crossing my fingers for new Kingfisher books soon (I just reread the latest paladin book which clearly is begging for a sequel)
