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."

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
I was like that when I was her age, then everyone decided to Prepare Me For Real Life by taking me down a peg. Sometimes I think they took a few too many pegs. ETA: Ok, so maybe "poise" is a stretch. But I was more confident, which might have become poise.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I’m sorry that happened to you, erika. I will beat up anyone trying to take my kid down a peg.

Yeah, I know. The worst part is that they thought they were helping, probably, and not just random strangers.

Thrive to spite them
I have fallen down the MF tomance rabbit hole. I was trying to get out of reading romances for awhile but ended up just switching types. Although I kept reading a few pages and then quitting books because the heroines were all dealing with major misogyny in the first few pages and I don't want to deal with that in my escapism.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Why I am distrustful of book rankings on Amazon, Exhibit A:
As fire-breathing unicorn shifter Bailey and her new husband, incubus police chief Quinn, struggle to take care of two orphaned gorgons, all hell breaks loose! A hilarious urban fantasy with over 1,600 five-star ratings on Amazon.
