Six of Crows is so good! I have had The Familiar on my reader since it came out but I have been weirdly reluctant to actually read it. No idea what that’s about. Anyway, I bet giving her Six of Crows to sign would be a nice treat for her, too, if for no reason other than she wrote it longer ago
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

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."

Unrelated: here are 50 cozy fantasy books on sale for 99 cents [link]
along with a reminder to myself that uncritically getting all of them would still be a lot of money to spend on books when I have a huge TBR pile. Maybe just a couple

I'm finally starting on Watership Down for the first time in life... it's one of those holes, and now I am happily filling it. Just thought I'd share.

Watership Down is one of my comfort reads. Enjoy!

Can I download a Chirp audiobook to my laptop and save it for later? Or am I locked into the Chirp app?

I don’t know and now I’m interested. I pretty much only listen on my phone , and while you can download books and keep them on the phone to listen to offline I don’t know where the file is stored or if you can access it any other way than the app. You can get to your library via browser but maybe only for streaming. I think I used to have something that could download the audio stream in that situation but it’s a long time since I’ve actually done it.

From what I can tell Chirp is locked into their app or stream from the website. I no longer want to purchase things I can't own.
