Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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 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.

Thanks for the reminder! I was quite certain I had pre-ordered that but apparently I did not.

I'm already partway through it. Creepy and good.

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

If there's anyone left who hasn't read House on the Cerulean Sea (I feel like I was the last one on the bandwagon, but I could be wrong), the ebook is on sale for $1.99. I bought the ebook even though I have a hard copy since I had digital credits on Amazon and I thought having a copy on my phone I could read whenever I had the whim might be nice.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I've been meaning to read that, so I'm off to buy it!

I'm reading Casey McQuiston's new book (The Pairing), and I can't decide if I like the characters or not. Also, it's making me very, very hungry AND making me want to take a food and wine tour of Europe.
