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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Have finally read The Devotion of Suspect X (I’m not sure why I say finally - I do feel like I have been trying to read it for a long time but I could not tell you what was getting in my way) and it is astonishingly good. Holmes/Moriarty vibes but entirely different, mildly reminiscent of The Hollow (maybe only in my head). The mystery is innovative but the characters all stay relatable human. I can see why it won so many awards.

I have Malice to read soon, very interested to see if it’s at all similar

I have fallen way out of my reading habit for a couple of months now. Maybe a good mystery will get me back! I'll see if I can get my hands on it.

ETA: Requested!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Just finished Lone Women by Victor LaValle, if anyone is looking for an excellent horror-ish Western about a Black woman homesteader in Montana.

That sounds good. And available through my shiny new library card from across the bridge, so that will break that in nicely
