I finished reading The Jewel and Her Lapidary this morning, despite ltc waking up with only 5 pages to go. What a wonderful story! Are there any other stories planned for this world?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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."

Megan - fixed that for you.
SJ - yes! there's a short story at BCS at a very different time/place called The Topaz Marquis and there are two more novellas planned and three short stories. [link]

Yay! I've finally started to make room in my day to read again. So, I need to track where I put your larger novels so I can read those as well.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Have people read The Mirage by Matt Ruff? I keep hoping our current situation is due to an ill-considered wish.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Has anyone else read The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers? It's a sort of found-family-in-SPACE story with good world-building and characterization that I'd recommend for fans of Firefly, the Vorkosigan saga, and maybe Deep Space 9 too.

Omg, Susan, thank you for mentioning Vorkosigan! I was trying to remember that tonight and couldn't remember enough of the name (let alone the author or any of the books) to be able to google it!

I put up a post that (also contains links to what I did this year) has a lot of short stories I've loved, and novels too. [link]

Susan, yes, I enjoyed it. Don't know that it belonged on the Hugo list (or was that the Nebula?), but it was fun. There's a sequel coming out next year, I think.

You're welcome! I love that series so much.

Cool! I definitely want to visit these characters again.
