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.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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'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’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.

I hit up a great used-book store today: they have a BAR. And the books are shelved in chronological order by subject, so you have a novel about Ancient Rome next to the Aenied.
Pretty great. And I bought a Willa Cather novel, and some Kim Stanley Robinson, and a book about a canoe trip down the Yukon River.

That sounds cool, Suela. Nice find!
I have finished the Expanse "TV" series now, which is a bummer. Now I see what you mean about so much more story to tell. What a shame they didn't keep going -- they set up a lot, so clearly they had plans.

Oh, wow, Consuela, that sounds amazing! I would like to browse around there for a good long time

Suela, that sounds like the perfect bookstore!
