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."
Ah, Big Spankable Asses. I'm so ... proud I was a part of that. ::slinks away in shame::
Bustin' got my vote. What even *is* that? Jesus.
Kink isn't too bad, really (although did Teppy say it was historical? Because, yeah, not getting that vibe *at all*) ... if you don't mind text-as-HUGE DICK imagery.
Sarah Shankman.

Sayers would have been a Buffista too.

Her antisemitism and snobbery might have earned less than a perfectly friendly welcome.
Obviously, when someone is a Buffista, they become the ideal version of themselves, and not the irritatingly real-life version.
Ah, shame it never worked for me. I would be much happier as an ideal version of myself rather than the irritatingly real life version.

No, Susan said that the one she voted for was historical, with the 2 basically naked people. Because y'know, people throughout history have been naked....
Ah. Oops. Thanks, Tep!
Other people have added several people I meant to include. Definitely Nevada Barr. BTW, the latest one is excellent. I also really like Margaret Maron. I prefer the Deborah Knott ones, mostly because the Sigrid Harald series came to such an abrupt and depressing end, but also because I think she had come more into her stride as a writer with the second series.

She was a creature of her era. Not everyone can be more enlightened than the people around them.

That's the great thing about different points of view, because I would have said "not the funny ones," or, more to the point, not the Elizabeth MacPherson books, except for "Killing Susan," in which she takes such sly advantage of the fact that her main character is an idiot. The Ballad books are wonderful, though.
I also forgot to mention James Lee Burke, who I think is one of the better current writers in any genre, at least in the sense of "Ain't those words purty. Damn, I wish I could write like that."
