Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

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."

A Sorceress Comes to Call is due to come out in about a month. Sounds similarly fairy tale ish to the two Epic just read (and others)

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.

Noted! Though I found a copy of Swordheart on my TBR shelf (like there's only ONE TBR shelf, ha!), so I'm pretty sure that will be my next Kingfisher. I'm also pretty sure it was also a gift from the same friend as the new 2! Thank goodness she's persistent!

Epic, there are some horror (or horror-leaning) books. I'd advise making sure you read those during the daytime.

Also noted!

Oh epic you’re in for some treats!!

Yay!

I'm liking the title!

Swordheart is excellent, I feel certain you will enjoy it. I wish she would give us the other sword stories that I'm pretty sure were promised at some point, but given that she keeps writing other really good stuff meanwhile/instead I cannot really complain

I took all the Fridays in July off for no particular reason, just that I have the vacation time available and felt like having some long weekends, which means I get to spend tomorrow lazing in front of a fan reading The Duke at Hazard. I am looking forward to it SO MUCH. Same series as The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

-t, I snapped that up - it was lovely. I found it very warm and the love story worked out so well.

Agreed, definitely the feel-good romance I was looking for. I was very curious about how it would fit with Gentle Art (I really like Thief in the Night which I guess is an offshoot?) and I'm pleased with how that worked out.

So, I'm buying a copy of Left Hand of Darkness on Chirp because it's on sale, and had to come and tell y'all that I am charmed by the reason it is on sale which is apparently because it includes a "road trip". Also, I guess if anyone wants it for $2 let me know and I can send you a discount link
