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'm just reminded of our distinguished author discovering that, under black lights, black cat hair shows up.
Aaaaugh I was so frustrated about that.
It's five years until the TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY of the book. I am confused by linear time.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That is some weird timey whimey nonsense. 15 years!

No, wait, that can't be right. My friend, H, was pregnant when we met up with you at ComicCon for the book signing, and that child is still ... a child. I'm sure of it! What is this 15 years nonsense?!

Listening to Mercy of the Gods. I'm really enjoying it. The small scale insights into human behavior and nature are well done. The story is cool and hasn't been predictable (to me, anyway), which is fun. And there's some stuff I'd like to find out that really doesn't matter to this particular story, and I'm wondering whether we will in future books. I am happy!

Yeah, I wasn't sure when I started it that I might have too high expectations since I liked The Expanse so much, and this is a very different, hm, perspective I guess but I really liked it and am looking forward to more. I think there's supposed to be a related novella or something coming out not too long from now but I don't remember where I saw that so it could be wrong.
Oh, I found it, it's already out! As an audiobook, even, although $7 seems like so much more money than $3 for some reason. Livesuit is the title.

Oh! Cool, thank you - it seems to be included in the free stuff w/ my Audible subscriptions right now, which is awesome. I finished Mercy today.

Nice! I want to get it for free. $7 is too low to spend a credit on but too high for my knee-jerk "it's only a dollar" (or whatever it actually is). Somebody planned that carefully to disturb my psychic wellbeing.

If anyone is looking for some lovely, fluffy reading, might I suggest the delightful Miss Percy's Guide series by Quenby Olson? The protagonist is a 40-something Regency-era lady who ends up inheriting a dragon egg and develops a gentle romance with the local vicar, and the humor is lovely and cutting and did I mention dragons?
