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 woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

New Penric also out this week. The Adventure of the Demonic Ox (Searching for ”Penric and” didn’t find it!) Rich pickins.

Demonic Ox is still not on Kobo, however. Just checked. I gather it will be there (as well as B&N, Apple, and Google, but that can take up to a week, per her blog on Goodreads).

I have tickets for a book signing for Leigh Bardugo at the end of August! It’s for her new children’s book but she’ll sign up to two additional books! So do I bring the Six of Crows Duology or the two Ninth House books or The Familiar? I can’t decide! Help!

Ooh, tough call! I’m leaning Ninth House but I don’t think there are wrong choices there. Should be fun!

I’m leaning Six of Crows but I also really loved The Familiar, but there is not another stand alone to go with it.

I vote Ninth House, but I haven't read the others.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I vote Ninth House, but I haven't read the others.

Same. I feel like I can't really weigh in since I didn't read Six of Crows.

Six of crows kind of has a place in my heart because it has a delicious disabled character in it.
