I am about 25% of the way into it, and I’m enjoying it so far but also skeptical of where it’s going?
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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 am a few pages in, but it'll be next week before I can drive seriously back into anything.

Because books.
You all have broadened my genre horizon by miles. I'm reading more fantasy than I ever expected and really enjoying it! The Ministry of Time just went onto my "want to read" list. And I found another one -- The Tainted Cup, by Robert Jackson Bennett, that looks great.

lol im now about 80% done with Ministry of Time but amusingly was talking to a friend at trivia who revealed she was ALSO in the midst of reading it! Synchronicity. Or library holds coming free at the same time. One or the other.
But I have momentarily abandoned it in favor of gay hockey romance.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
Hey, guys. Sorry to pop up to deliver bad news. Last night author Peter Morwood passed away unexpectedly. His wife, Diane Duane, posted the news on her tumblr:
She put a Ko-Fi link in the post for those who want to donate directly, but does anyone know what the best platform to use to buy her books that would get the greatest return back to her?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
The always-delightful Peter was one of my favorite follows on Tumblr, and I'm so sad for Diane Duane and the rest of his loved ones. What a loss.

The status is NOT quo.
The Tainted Cup, by Robert Jackson BennettReally good read. Another I just discovered this week and enjoyed the hell out of was The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson. It follows some of the coming-of-age, fight-in-a-giant-contest-to-rule tropes, but it is really well written with a protagonist I really liked. It's also refreshingly witty with a raven god and...you know, I'm not going to do it justice, but the ravens are amazing.
Another recommendation for a clever, cozy riff off Arthurian legend is Greenteeth by Molly O'Neill. There's a wonderful female friendships at the heart of that one.
