No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We Could Be So Good or one of the Cabot novellas is a good place to start for her midcentury era. If you want a slightly more conventional histrom, go for The Queer Principles of Kit Webb (my personal favorite).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Jess's recs are good ones! BTW, I loved After Hours at Dooryard Books, as expected

Speaking of Cat Sebastian, for folks experiencing a Heated Rivalry hangover, I'm currently rereading Season's Change by Cait Nairy, which I haven't seen pop up on any of the "What to read after HR" lists out there but which Cat Sebastian recommended when it came out as "weapons-grade idiots to lovers" and she is never wrong. Nairy's other two books aren't nearly as good but this one is a periodic reread of mine.
