I'm listening to City of Bones by Martha Wells on Hoopla. It's better than I remember it being, given that it was one of her earliest novels.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

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."

It took me a couple of runs at the Sharing Knife series to get into it. I did eventually like it well enough, but not as much as her other stuff and I don't remember much about it.

I've been seeing updated/revised editions of some of those early works, is City of Bones one of those? No idea how much they are actually changed

I don't know if this is the revised version of CoB. I know she's releasing a revised version of Wheel of the Infinite, which I quite liked in the original form.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I’ve started A Court of Thorns and Roses, as my sister and niece are both into the series and I want to talk about it with them. I don’t love it—there’s something missing, to me. Humor? Irony? But the world building is really interesting and I can see why it’s popular.

At the end of the Comfort Reads panel thing today, Kingfisher mentioned the new edition of Swordheart that is coming out and said the publisher bought the trilogy, so two more books!

BTW, listened to a Chekov short story this morning. No guns either appeared or were fired.
