That is good!
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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."

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I finally had my kaffeeklatsch session with Lois McMaster Bujold. There were three of us winners there, so the conversation was pretty rambling, but I'm happy to report she's already working on the next Penric & Desdemona, and it will fall somewhere in the middle of the existing canon. I mentioned wondering what's going on with Adelis, and she promised she does plan to bring him back into the main story eventually.

Thank you for sharing, Susan! Always good to hear there’s more Penric on the way. I would definitely like to know how Adelis and his wife and her extended household are getting along…

Yay for more Penric!
I finished The Raven Scholar and enjoyed it immensely. If you haven't read it, it's the kind of book you are happy there is more of while you are reading it.

I very much want more stories in that world

I finished Automatic Noodle the other day, which is a delight, and I don't think it's a spoiler to say it made me really want to try biang biang noodles. I found a place in Alameda that has them on the menu with online ordering, so I have made plans to pick some up and bring them to my folks to try with them. I am ridiculously excited about this!

I know Annalee a little bit so I'm always happy when her books find readers.

I've met her, I'm pretty sure, but I don't really know her to talk to. I like her books a lot in general, this one in particular feels very aimed right at me and it does not miss

I’m reading The Left-handed Book Sellers of London and really enjoying it.
