That sounds amazing!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Jesse, I don't know if that book is too too for your cousin, but it looks fascinating.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, very nice. Thanks!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
That was a cracking good read.

I've been reading a bunch of the NPR book concierge books. A number of them I'd already read (mostly the romances) but there were a lot I hadn't. They've been slowly coming off hold and I'm reading them (or trying and giving up, as I did for Terra Nullius—I got about halfway through I think, if anyone wants to tell me there's an amazing twist? Besides the obvious one)
I also re-read "that inevitable Victorian thing", which I kinda loved and want more stories in that universe. And just got "odd one out", which I really was loving until about the last 5 pages. I didn't like the ending one bit and perhaps not for the reason some might think (anyone else read it?)
