It would. It's a sign.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

The Incandescent is really good. Magical boarding school, mostly from the pov of a teacher and alumna. I am up past my bedtime from needing to finish it.

That's the new Emily Tesh, yes? I really liked her last book I read, although I cannot remember the name of it. The one that won the Hugo.
In other news, we read The Scarlet Pimpernel for book club (I listened to one of the multiple Librivox recordings), and I can just tell my sister will have loathed it. It's very overwritten, melodramatic, and tropey. Kinda dumb but also I think the source of a lot of tropes in modern genre fiction.
I am inspired to dig a little bit into the history of spy fiction because I wonder how this fits in...

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I've never read the book, but I remember liking the movie adaptation with Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour.

I bet it cut out the worst of the anti-semitism, and the repetition. I don't think I ever saw it, maybe I'll see if it's on Youtube.

That really was delightful.
