Sweet! I got the hard cover one a long time ago. I just went ahead and put it on my Kindle with points. Just because.

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 checked to see if I already had it in Books and I did, but that let me find a couple more of her romances for $2.99 each which I am sure will come in handy

I really enjoyed The Tomb of Dragons but some online friends are unhappy because they think Addison cheated on pivoting away from Iana as the love interest.
I don't care that much, and I appreciated that the plot was all pretty relevant to current events, without being too ham-handed. And I just like Thara and his friends.
Plus we got to see Maia again! However briefly.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm listening to That Self-Same Metal right now and it is a lot of fun. Good magic system, diverse cast, Shakespeare, fae!
(MUCH more fun than Heavenly Tyrant, which was a terrible slog with a terrible MC that just barely redeemed itself in the final 50 page or so. Desperately hoping book 3 is the last in this series so I can be done with it.)

I'm re-reading the other books in the series because I just had forgotten too much, a third of the way into Witness for the Dead and hoping I can retain enough to not feel quite so lost when I get back to The Tomb of Dragons. I hadn't revisited Goblin Emperor in quite a while, that was worthwhile for its own sake, I think

Oh shoot I didn’t realize Tomb of Dragons was out yet. You’d think with all this AI and shit they’d be better about haunting me around this internet with books I want to read

And Olivia Waite's Murder By Memory comes out tomorrow, I feel like I've been waiting for that one for a long time, too. I suspect that I actually only heard about it fairly recently but it's a murder mystery in space by an author I like so I have been wanting it pretty intensely and I won't be able to drop everything and read it immediately is my point. All those books I was looking at March/April pub dates for lats fall and thinking "that's so long" are going to come all at once and overwhelm me.

Olivia is a friend of mine! I was just in online bookclub with her earlier this evening!

Finished The Tomb of Dragons, really enjoyed it. I am glad I went back and read the earlier ones because there were details about the earlier murders that I had definitely forgotten and were probably not essential to know for this one but were good to have refreshed. Pleased with how the romance angle played out, personally. It’s such an interesting world, and the more time I get to spend with Thara the more I like him (and I liked him an awful lot when we first met him). Really eager for whatever comes next! I am hoping that heading to the court will mean more Maia, whether that’s in a Thara book or a Maia book with Thara in it
