2025 in Books (Part 1): Recommendations and Reviews

It’s July, so time to show off some of the novels I’ve read this year, like a cat stacking up dead lizards on your porch.

The Sky-High Hurdles of a Buffy Reboot

To great woopings of glee and rolling choruses of consternation, it’s been announced that a BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER reboot pilot has been ordered. Sarah Michelle Gellar stars, Chloé Zhao directs, and Nora and Lilla Zukerman write. Don’t worry, Dolly Parton is once again involved.

The pilot will be a continuation of our favorite slayer’s story. Well, second favorite.
