This is why I've been reading YA and Star Trek novels...
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Fanfic, y'all. Fanfic.

Yep yep. All of the above, and romance novels.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Fanfic, y'all. Fanfic.
Seriously all I've been reading for MONTHS. I have a pile of books from the library glaring balefully at me, and yet I am re-reading fanfic like it's my second job.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Alllll the fanfic. So comforting. So soothing.

Thrive to spite them
I am just plowing away at fanfic. I keep staying in my comfort categories but that is all I'm reading.
Although I keep stumbling on stories that I didn't check to see if they were finished and getting really into something that hasn't been updated in years.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Romance novels and fanfic are essential services.

Because books.
I've been reading Cat Sebastian and delving into some historical romance I've never tried. I want to get Slippery Creatures, but I still have a bunch of KJ Charles I haven't read yet. I think I'm afraid I won't love any as much as I loved the Society of Gentlemen series.
I also need to get back to Tyack and Frain!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I think I need to dive back into fanfic. I stalled halfway through *The Ruins* and haven't felt like starting up any new novels until I finish that one.
