Buffy ,'Get It Done'
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."

According to a newsletter from Cat Sebastian: "I'm nearly done revising Washed Up, the follow up to Star Shipped. It involves ex-best-friends who used to be in a TV show that's…Dawson's Creek meets a sort of prestige Merlin? It's part of the Star Shipped extended universe, where shows get greenlit that in our universe would never see the light of day. It'll be out at some point in 2027. "

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, nice. I was wondering how that would become a series, different shows in the same world sounds interesting

Maybe this has already been discussed, but I just read CINDERWICH by Cherie Priest and y’all should all read it if only for the character that is obviously based on Atropa.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ooh I was at a Seattle book launch event for that! (With Atropa in attendance, of course).
I am BEREFT right now because I've been listening to Allie Therin's Sugar and Vice series but I didn't realize before I started that Book 3 isn't out yet!! And Book 2 ends on a terrible cliffhanger!! (Not really, I'm confident I know where this is all going and it's going to be FINE, probably.) (Also Book 3 comes out literally next month, so this is not a Locked Tomb situation.) (But still.)

Ooh, I read and liked her other two series but hadn't started that one...

I started the first one when it was released but I wasn't in the mood for it back then, so I put it aside and only remembered I had it in my audiobook library a couple of weeks ago.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I started reading the first Dungeon Crawler Carl because I’ve heard so many good things about it, but the first few chapters seem to be almost entirely exposition. Does it get better?
