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.

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

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