Jess's recs are good ones! BTW, I loved After Hours at Dooryard Books, as expected
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Speaking of Cat Sebastian, for folks experiencing a Heated Rivalry hangover, I'm currently rereading Season's Change by Cait Nairy, which I haven't seen pop up on any of the "What to read after HR" lists out there but which Cat Sebastian recommended when it came out as "weapons-grade idiots to lovers" and she is never wrong. Nairy's other two books aren't nearly as good but this one is a periodic reread of mine.

See, this is why my library holds are out of control. Although this particular book is available immediately, so it is actually contributing to a different problem.

Seconding "After Hours at Dooryard Books". I'm not as big a fan or her 60s-era books as I am her more historical ones (I love, love love, "The Queer Principles of Kit Webb"), but Dooryard Books is a real comfort read.
