I think his book is planned for next year. (And I want to say that character's name is Tyler? But I might be totally making that up.)
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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."

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

That sounds right. And yay!

Well, Charlaine Harris's Gunnie Rose series has irritated me a great deal. Six books of irritating me. I suppose I will read the next one if there is one, but I am not looking forward to it.

The status is NOT quo.
I gave up and didn't bother when the most recent one came out, -t. I liked the first couple well enough but have officially lost interest.

I applaud your choice. I had it sitting in a suspended hold from the library for quite a long time and finally decided to read it and I wouldn't go so far as to say I wish I had that time back but I didn't enjoy it

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I told ltc I’d try to finish reading A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Friday when we’re supposed to watch the movie, but I find myself really not caring about Snow’s dramatic backstory. Someone encourage me to read it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Someone encourage me to read it.
Sounds boring and cliched.

I never convinced myself to read it, but, hm, maybe approach it as an exercise in prequels?
I read The Mad Sisters of Esi over the weekend. I think I picked it up because it was nominated for something but I don't recall exactly. It's very weird but interesting and good.
Also did a little bit of rereading Pride and Prejudice because that one thread on Bluesky is the the best thing on the internet and some of his remarks made me want to read the specific chapter he was on and I got sucked back in a bit...I have been trying to remember, we had a whole year of English Lit in high school (junior year) and I don't think Jane Austen was even mentioned. Or the Brontes. I do see people mentioning reading her in school, is that common?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I read Pride and Prejudice in senior year, AP English.
Edit: Actually, I didn't read it when I was supposed to, failed the test, then read it and kicked myself for not reading it in the first place.

Heh, that's exactly how I read Red Badge of Courage
I was trying to remember what we covered in senior year, I think it was AP English although I'm not sure if I took the test or not. Probably did, I think I took everything I could. But the only thing I remember reading for sure that year is King Lear, and I mostly remember that because I dragged my long-suffering mother to see Ran
