Books: Zen Cho's The Sorcerer to the Crown is new, getting great reviews, and apparently has a diverse cast and awesome female characters. I am only ten pages into it myself, but they were good pages! Or, Naomi Novik's Uprooted is new-ish (came out in the spring) and was great. OR, if you're writing for a website, maybe your job is to bring in page hits, in which case a problematic book might make for a more interesting review. If that's so then both the new Franzen and the new Rushdie are apparently super problematic!

Since I think the classics are sometimes the best, I would just yell "Buffy Summers is a bitch!" to track you down.

Literal LOL. All your info is appreciated. Knowing myself I'll probably veer towards the latter first!!

Buffy Summers is a bitch!

Heh, believe me, it hurt my soul to type it.

I felt really conflicted copy/pasting it and italicizing it as a quote tbh
