New Penric and Desdemona story came out 30Jun, I just saw!
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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."

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

BookBub tells me The Ruthless Lady’s Guide to Wizardry is on sale for $1.99 various places today. I could not connect the title to anything and the description wasn't helping me, but I determined that I read it 3 years ago and when I finally looked up the first book in the series (this is the second, but you don't have to have read the first to enjoy it) the description FINALLY triggered my memory that this is a DELIGHTFUL book, well worth $2. A charming love story, good fantasy, just generally joyful

Oh good I just bought it yesterday because someone on TikTok had recommended it and I saw it was on sale, glad to hear another rec.

I think I originally got it because Pix recommended it, so there's that, too

I know I never post here, but while we're thanking for recs -- thanks everyone who talked about the Murderbot series. I devoured and loved them on Audible.
