I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?
Buffy ,'Lessons'
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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Because books.
Anyone else read or are reading Our Kind of Cruelty, by Araminta Hall?
My library hold just came in and I just started it. It looks fantastic.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Oooh, Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon at work. I am quite confident I was completely unaware of "Araminta" as a name before the last couple of weeks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's a character in Crazy Rich Asians, right?

Because books.
I have an old children's book that was my mom's and the doll in it is named Araminta.

I checked Google Books Ngram viewer - which plots the frequency of words in Google Books over time - and the first use of "Araminta" is in 1709 - [link] .
FWIW.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Todd, I just read that about 15 minutes ago in our local news (P&G is headquartered here), and my exact reaction was "...didn't Cockygate put an end to this nonsense???"
