Dang! I wish I had checked back before I bought it... maybe after I read it, it will migrate to my classroom library.
Other books purchased today: Work Won't Love You Back and Lauren Groff's The Vaster Wilds.
No power in the 'verse can stop me.
River ,'War 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."

I liked The Book of Love more than I expected to. I don’t actually love Link’s short stories that I’ve read, but Book of Love really grew on me as I read it.

I just finished The Final Problem by Arturo Perez-Reverte and it is excellent. Sherlock Holmes, um, adjacent? Heavily referential, anyway. With excellent treatment of Moriarty and Irene Adler, anyone who was into Elementary’s version would likely enjoy this, I think (not that they are similar versions at all but similarly thoughtful and cool?)

Our wings are not tired.
We have that on our FL Book Club potential list. I'll see about doing that one in June.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I took ltc to a book festival on Saturday and she talked Catherynne Valente’s ear off and then was the first one to raise her hand and ask a question after Joe Hill and Christopher Golden’s author talk. She also told several authors that she is already a writer. It’s like she has all of my interest but a poise and confidence I have never possessed.
