Finished Anima Rising, so I am all caught up on Christopher Moore. I would like someone, not necessarily me, to compare Judith from this book with Justine of Goss’s Athena Club. Not a bad excuse to revisit those…
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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."

ZomRomCom is pretty fun. Dade’s version of zombies, vampires, werewolves, etc. is interesting, but not so far outside the paranormal usual to be hard to get used to, the romance is appealing, and the Disney filks are hilarious. I wish the audiobook actually sang them but I suppose there are probably legal reasons not to.
It looks like it’s actually the start of a series, and I’m not sure how I feel about that but I like the character who it seems will be the lead in the next book. And I wouldn’t mind seeing Edie and Max again.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Did you all see this already, or am I actually the first one to post about it? I was missing four of the books and it was cheaper to buy them as part of the bundle.

It's a great deal, and benefiting World Kitchen. There are only two that I don't already have, but, yeah, the bundle is actually cheaper than buying them elsewhere. And only one of them is available through my library and I'd have to wait for it...ok, I'm convinced

I have been saying that I need to read the Murderbot series. It would be silly to pass this up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It would. It's a sign.

All Systems Red is the only one that's acting wonky. It might be my phone, though.

Success! Restarted my phone and now all the books are where they should be.

The status is NOT quo.
Tep, you are going to LOVE those books.
