Finally listened to Firewatch. I don’t think I am emotionally equipped to go right into Doomsday Book like I planned.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
There are a couple dozen mass market Doctor Who novels at the bookstore today that I’m having a hard time convincing myself I don’t need to buy. They’re in near perfect condition.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
If you are looking for something...kind of ambitious(and have some time, because it's long), you could do worse than "Mount Chicago."

I have downloaded a sample of that to check out, sounds interesting
I had been putting off reading the last two (last as in most recent, not last as in there won't be any more) InCryptid novels because they are Alice-centric and Alice is not my favorite. I was kind of grumbling to myself all the way through that there was too much Prices and not enough cryptids in these. However, the last one also has a bonus story that is partly from the POV of an Aeslin Mouse and the Aeslin Mice *are* my favorite, so it's all worthwhile and thought I'd better say so here in case anyone else might need that story. Bonus Novella: Where His Waffles Went in Backpacking Through Bedlam

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm 4 books behind on the InCryptid novels. I missed both Sarah novels and both Alice novels. But they're on the TBR list.

Ooh I am at least one if not two InCryptid behind, good reminder.

Sweet. That’s my current listen-while-driving book, being able to switch to an e-book will come in handy.

I am loving the concept of “Dracula season”
Also, when I first heard that they were going to print a physical book of Dracula Daily I thought that was a silly idea but here I am pre-ordering it. But it’s sparking joy, so there you go.
