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."

Anyone have good recs for audiobooks? Preferably sci-fi/fantasy, horror, or thriller. We've had success with Hail Mary, one of Stephen King's Holly Gibney books, and Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak, but the current book that we have powered through is Grady Hendrix's Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. I've liked the couple other books of his that I've read, but this one is not good for an audiobook, and the audiobook narrator is...very much not my taste.

She emotes her way through EVERYTHING, which is okay for dialogue, but when the whole narration is like that, it slows everything way down. Instead of "They were alone" with a narrative perspective, she says "They...WERE........ALONE." There's also a lot of chanting nonsense words and yelling, and those parts of the book are so painful I've skipped through a couple.

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

I just finished listening to Starling House and it was really good, both the book and the narrator
