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."

Ooh, that sounds like the kind of thing I like to watch, so I should read that.

Right now I'm reading The Name of the Wind and listening to Saturn Run, both of which I am enjoying, and they're very unalike, so it's working.

And a bunch of books I was in different places in the hold line for at the library all came in at once somehow, so I have a stack of five waiting. The pressure!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I read The Thursday Murder Club, by Richard Osman, a week or so ago and really enjoyed it. I could easily see it as a series on BritBox, with a bunch of older RSC actors. I understand they’re making something for Netflix out of it.

Those books are very fun, and the casting looks amazing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Of course Helen Mirren is Elizabeth.

Our wings are not tired.

We read The Thursday Murder Club for book club here last month. It was just the comfort food we were looking for. I'm looking forward to seeing it on screen.

That series is terrific, and the new series he started this year (We Solve Murders) is also a good time. I cannot imagine Pierce Brosnan as Ron but I am interested to see how it works out

That series is terrific

Echoing this. One of the most consistently good series I've read. I didn't realize he had started another. Does that mean we not getting a #5?

I believe he said he was taking a break to write something different.

We are getting a 5, this year even, he just had another idea he wanted to explore. I think he said somewhere that he can only see putting one book a year so maybe they will alternate, but I could have made that up

I just like to know well in advance so I can put it on hold at the library. I'm currently #6 for this new series, but there are 85 copies so I imagine I'll get it in a couple of days.
