Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

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."

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.

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.
