More Photoshopped romance covers. I love the new titles a lot.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

Are those new? I know I've seen (and loved) Uh, Honey, whose Hat Is That? before.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The top half is new, and they cite the inspirations, Matt, which includes your Hat one.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I don't think they're new--I think one of the popular blogs just noticed and linked to the newer ones from a couple weeks ago yesterday, so they're getting noticed more.

Anyone read the Kim Harrison books, Dead Witch Walking and the like?
My sister lent them to me (she's got an ARC for the 3rd one) and I just...can't get into them. The characters seem flat, and the plots feel very retconned.
I wanted to like them. But I don't.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Skimmed in mall while waiting for haircut. Agree with your evaluation.
If you want someon who does great 20th century/21st century witchery - Nina K. Hoffman. Hmm more shamanism than witchcraft -but marvelous characters and world building in any case.

I've read good things about her, and have read some poems of her in anthologys, but have not run across any of her books. I'll have to keep an eye open.

I thought I had, but on checking, I read something similar by Kelly Armstrong. Which was fine, if kind of fluffy.
But I'm hugely entertained that the teaser quote from the book on Amazon's site for The Good, The Bad, and The Undead is the following:
"I hitched the canvas strap holding the watering canister higher up on my shoulder and stretched to get the nozzle into the hanging plant...
Sounds riveting.
