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

I can't tell if I'm not enjoying it because it's a full cast audio recording or because I just don't like the book. I think it's both...I strongly prefer traditional narrated audiobooks but also the main character is giving mild "breasted boobily down the stairs" vibes which is making me twitchy. (Moreso because she is a ghost and does not currently have a body to be annoyingly male gazey about, and yet!)

Full cast audiobooks rarely work for me. Which kind of surprises me every time, because actual radio plays are often great, so what's the difference?
I am told I have two weeks on my hold for Star Shipped. Which is fine, because I just started Pretenders to the Throne of God and I know I'm gonna be fully immersed in this world for a while...
