I highly recommend that book.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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."

Now tagless for your comfort.
A readers' advisory consultant at work told us that when the world is a garbage fire, two genres of books increase in readership: romance and dystopian fiction.
One, because people want to lose themselves in happy endings, the other, because they want to know it could be worse.
I just got my second $20 amazon gift card for listening to my 3rd romance novel on audible this month.

I'm finding I gravitate toward murder mysteries lately, some good old-fashioned order-being-established-after-chaos

Yes I'm all about escapist romance and mysteries where the bad guy is caught and all is well in the end!

I haven't been a big mystery reader, but I found a series about a cop in Honolulu who is trying to solve a murder and comes out as gay. The whole series is kind of fun. It's only a little sexy and the mysteries aren't too difficult to figure out but I'm on the fourth book in the series so I like it.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm nearly finished the first of the Dresden Files series. I don't know what I was expecting, but I am finding it amusing. A plus for me is it having a bunch in the series.

I had been reading mysteries for the last couple of years to cope with the general mess the world is in. Now I'm reading Defoe's "Journal of the Plague Year" and a history of the Spanish Influenza. I find it comforting to know that everything could be way worse.

Jim Butcher has some writing tics that he never loses throughout the series, but I think the Harry Dresden books start to get really good about book 4 or 5.
