I think you could probably return them if you don't like them.
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."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I love the whole Temeraire series and probably need to reread soon.

"Creative Types" romance series by Joanna Chambers and Sally Malcolm
I liked this series - fun but not the most memorable? Joanna Chambers is one of those authors I always *almost* love.

Yeah, that sounds right. I was trying to recall what I liked about the first thing of hers I read and I couldn’t remember anything except that I did like it.

I have a shiny new Cat Sebastian burning a hole in my Kindle and yet I keep choosing to read KU trash instead so I won't have to be finished with the Cat Sebastian book and not have it to look forward to anymore.

I stupidly forgot my kindle at moms the other day, and I haven’t had the energy to drive up and get it. So, I had ltc pick a random book off my bookshelf for me because I couldn’t decide, and now I’m reading Amaya Witch and absolutely loving it. I told her she can read it when she gets to middle school.

I was so utterly delighted when this notification popped up for me today!! I'd almost forgotten I was waiting for this book and now here it is!!
I'm currently listening to Bullshit Jobs which is alternately fascinating and infuriating. (Fascinating because I think his overall premise about the proliferation of bullshit jobs and their impact on our collective psyche is legitimate and well-observed. Infuriating because too many of his specific examples are just his white collar / academia friends whining.)
