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…
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

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

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 am ridiculously excited about this!
Book food adventure!
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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I’m reading The Left-handed Book Sellers of London and really enjoying it.

The status is NOT quo.
I recently read Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto, and it was a total delight — set in San Francisco and all about found family. The tea-shop-owning self-proclaimed detective protagonist is based on the author's parents, and although Sutanto wrote that she always worries about playing into Asian stereotypes, she instills such dignity into Vera Wong that I found it utterly charming.

Ooh, that sounds intriguing.
