If I had submitted a guess, that is what I would have guessed.
For some reason I made the leap to the spontaneous human combustion in Bleak House and while I was pretty sure it wasn’t that I couldn’t think of anything else. Even with the movie out.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.
Buffy ,'Get It Done'
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 forgot I’d pre-ordered Snake Eater, so it was a nice surprise on the 1st. I think the author has said the southwest US is the place of her heart, and it shows in this book.

She talks about that in the Acknowledgments, and, yeah, the whole setting-as-a-character thing is strong

Remembered the put-the-kindle-in-airplane-mode trick, maybe I can finish reading the TMC after all...
ETA looks good so far, officially returned but still on the kindle.

The Diamond Age is on sale for $1.99, I kinda want to buy it. I read it in paperback when it came out but I am pretty sure I don't have it anymore. I really loved it then, I wonder if I still would now

Thrive to spite them
Anyone looking for good audiobooks there is Dungeon Crawler Carl.
If that isn't your thing then look into SoundBooth theater because their narrates are top notch . Especially Jeff Hays. I don't really like audiobooks and I'm listening to my second LitRPG series narrated by him
Soundbooth theater has done Dracula that I haven't listened to but I did buy it's on my list

I won an advanced reader copy of a new T Kingfisher novel on Goodreads the other day. I’m so behind on emails that I didn’t even realize it until it arrived in the mail. Now I just need some time to read it.

Thanks, -t. Hopefully I will get the last of the Christmas errands done today.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
