Hahah I have read way way too much hockey smut of all varieties (mm, mf, ff) and nobody is asking for my expertise
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

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."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I have read the first Leo Stanhope (Alex Reeve) and have the third and fourth *in my hands* but the second is still waiting to ship. I've started re-reading the Charm of Magpies books, having finished The Will Darling Adventures (KJ Charles) keeping my hands full while waiting the second Stanhope. Yes, I have a predictable reading habit.

I just had to redo a video I made for students at work to show them how to upload documents from the iPad to Blackboard because I accidentally had files named Hockey RPF showing on my iCloud account. Before this, I feel like no one would have noticed.

Did you read Death in the Spires, Beverly?

Yes, yes, Death in the Spires, -t, and The Duke at Hazard, Copper Script, which bugs because it's Copper*plate* script, actually, All of us Murderers, and I preordered How to Fake it in Society. I need to give other authors a chance, I suppose, but her characters are just so delicious.

Good, good, just wanted to make sure you didn’t miss the Actual Murder Mystery (as opposed to Romance With Some Murders)
Audrey Lane won me over in the end. A nice wrap up for the trilogy. I would guess people who watch GBBO might like it more than I do

Speaking of murder mysteries and KJC, I just finished A Case of Life and Limb by Sally Smith and it is excellent. It’s the second in a series and I love the detective and the setting is interesting (1901 Inner Temple barristers) so I will be reading all of these as they come out from now on. I started it because KJC gave it a glowing review - I did mean to start with the first one but this one came available from the library first and I don’t feel like I’m missing vital backstory or anything

I quite enjoyed both Sally Smith mysteries. The setting is a fascinating character in its own right.
