I am about two thirds through the new Locke book. Love!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

Isn't it wonderful? In a highly painful way?

Holy crap, Code Name Verity
Yeah, pretty much. Speaking of which, this is a lovely book trailer someone made for it. Or vid. I don't actually agree with Maddie's casting, but it's lovely anyway.

I still have the new one on my kindle and haven't brought myself to read it yet.

Does anyone here do reddit/fantasy? Cooking the Books has a site of the week AMA (they're trying to start a new thing) and I'm fidgety-nerves. On the plus side, the interviews match up with a fair number of r/fantasy popular authors, so hopefully it will go ok.
