That one hit my Kindle yesterday too, but I always hold off on Cat Sebastian because once I've read it, I'll be done reading it.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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
That is a good point.

The library book is Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil which I did start and 20 pages in I do want to keep reading but finishing the remaining 500 or so by Friday seems unlikely.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Anyone have good recs for audiobooks? Preferably sci-fi/fantasy, horror, or thriller. We've had success with Hail Mary, one of Stephen King's Holly Gibney books, and Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak, but the current book that we have powered through is Grady Hendrix's Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. I've liked the couple other books of his that I've read, but this one is not good for an audiobook, and the audiobook narrator is...very much not my taste.
She emotes her way through EVERYTHING, which is okay for dialogue, but when the whole narration is like that, it slows everything way down. Instead of "They were alone" with a narrative perspective, she says "They...WERE........ALONE." There's also a lot of chanting nonsense words and yelling, and those parts of the book are so painful I've skipped through a couple.
