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
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

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."

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.

OK, getting a jump on my 2026 reading with three I just picked up from the library: Clay's Ark, Octavia Butler; A Closed and Common Orbit, Becky Chambers (read the first one this year); and The Never Wars, David Pedreira. Pretty psyched.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
For Christmas, Tim gave me a Cat Sebastian book I hadn't read yet (We Could Be So Good), so that's next on my reading list.

Excellent. I decided to start with Becky Chambers.

Ooh, those are both so good.
I really did try to think of a different way to word that, but dammit that is what I mean.
Currently reading Someone in Time: Tales of Time-crossed Romance. Short stories, which is convenient for picking up and putting down in between doing actual work, and authors I like, but kind of a lot of emotion to have to shove aside when I have to get back to working sometimes...
Only 6 books out from the library right now, possibly a manageable amount if no more holds become available too soon...
