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."

Pix, I just bought Uprooted on your rec! Can't wait to read it.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh good! I think you’ll really enjoy it.

I also picked up Girl Waits with Gun which I am looking forward to also.

I really liked Uprooted too.

not your mom's socks.

Add me to the Uprooted / anything Naomi Novik writes bench.

If I haven't mentioned it here, The Fifth Season is really REALLY good.

Do any of you read Leigh Bardugo? I love the Grishaverse in general. But Six of Crows is excellent.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Uprooted is on the TBR list. Meanwhile, I'm muchly enjoying "The Raven Boys".

Because books.

The Raven Boys series is fantastic, Anne. I absolutely love it. And if you haven't read it, I highly recommend The Scorpio Races. I think you'd love it.

I've been meaning to read Leigh Bardugo, too. Is Six of Crows part of the Grishaverse?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I liked Scorpio Races but didn't love it. I love Raven Boys because of the characters, but I find her writing a little...sideways, I guess? Not in a good way, at least for me.
