So, I bought the new LKH Merry Gentry novel, because I really needed a wallow.
Is this a third one, Betsy? Huh. Didn't know it was out. Maybe I'll hit the B&N and spend some time reading, one of these evenings...
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."

Rhiannon, thank you, ma'am; it's been enough of a cruncher these past couple of weeks to where I'm now drowning myself in an orgy of Simenon. Lots and lots of 1950s Paris. Yes indeed. And psychological why-done-it stories.
I know I'm not happy when my bedtime reading starts out with "Maigret and the Killers" and progresses to Nicholas Blake's "The Beast Must Die" and pauses for Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House." All superb books, none of them bedtime material, unless you sleep on a bed of nails and wear hair shirt pajamas.
Oy.
I am not in the least vanilla, but I am now and likely will be forever unable to participate in Kushiel discussions.
Micole, belated birthday wishes (it's not in the Buffista Calendar). May it be a wonderful year with lots of great books in it.
Thanks, Nilly! (And if you're still doing the calendar, feel free to add me.)

Has vapors, presses violet sachet to face. Rolls eyes heavenward, thinks of England.
Hey, if any of y'all are Lawrence Block fans, he's about to head off on a huge book tour, including lots of talks at public libraries. The schedule is here
Happy belated birthday, Micole!
Finished American Gods. Good stuff. I liked it a lot.
Now....someone please jog my memory -- wasn't there some controversy or brouhaha after the novel came out because it led to some kind of crime? And if so, what? Because I can't imagine a person reading the books and deciding to just become Vishnu.

American Gods? That would make zero sense.
American Psycho, on the other hand...
Boy, talk about two writers not in the same league.....
