Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Buffy ,'Him'


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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Did one of y’all recommend the Gabriel Ward mysteries by Sally Smith? I’m on the second in the series. They are perfect for cold winter days.

Re: Master and Margarita

that novel was the inspiration for the Rolling Stones song "Sympathy for the Devil."

You know, I could see that.

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

They’re good, aren’t they? I thought I had seen a date for the third one but I can’t find it now.

Speaking of books I’m looking forward to, I am first in line on the hold’s list to get Hell’s Heart at the library, woohoo!

According to Goodreads, Sally Smith's "A Case of Fear and Favour" is expected to be published in January 2027.

Thanks! That’s not too long a wait as these things go.

The status is NOT quo.

People. If you love cats and fantasy, I highly recommend “Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter” by Heather Faucett (who also wrote the Emily Wilde books). What a delight! [link]

Thanks. Naturally there's a "several months long wait" at the library, but I've put a hold on it.

The only thing I regularly spend my disposable income on is books. I can't help myself!

12 week wait here, not too bad

Thrive to spite them

Has anyone read the Murder Sprees and Mute Decrees series by Jennifer Cody ? I just finished it and it was pretty good. Took me a bit to go with the flow but I liked some of the world building and most of the characters. It's a paranormal MM romance. There is a spin off but I stopped reading it because I didn't like the character it was about.

The vibe kind of reminded me of Alice Winters.

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

Star Shipped is burning a hole in my Kindle at home and I can't start reading it until Friday at the earliest because I have to finish my stupid book club book ( Vigil by George Saunders, which I did not realize before downloading was a FULL CAST AUDIO recording, and I am not at all enjoying it)
