ive heard theyre doing more buffy....
Yeah I know, Dizzi, they're doing more Buffy novels. And I'm glad 'cause I was running out of Buffy novels to read, I read pretty much all of them (there's like 55-60 of them I think, if you don't count the most recent ones and I read all of them in the past 15 years).
I've heard about the new novels and I'm looking forward to reading them:

Also, I put Kiersten White's duology ("Slayer" and "Chosen") on hold at the public library. Those two are the only ones I haven't read yet. They came out in 2019-2020, but I hadn't had heard of them before, I find out about this duology online.

I decide that I'm never going to read Kendare Blake's "In every generation" series when I saw all the negative review online (even by huge fans of the TV show). I was horrified. The first two novels in this series seems to have been written by someone who never bothered to watch all of the TV shows (all seven seasons); there's a lot of innacurate stuff in them, the main character is boring (and the circumstances of her conception and birth are very weird), way too many characters end up being killed off or at the very least indefinitely disappeared without an explanation, and I'm not even talking about the menstruation/period jokes (nobody likes them), etc. So, nope, this recent series isn't for me.
I can only hope that Kiersten White's duology is better. I've never been disappointed by a Buffy novel before, well except Kendare Blake's series that I won't bother to read.
I came across these and it made me want to read Kiersten White's duology:

A Spike prequel was released not to long ago entitled "Bloody fool for love: A Spike prequel" by William Ritter (it was released on August 2 2022). And a Tara prequel entitled "The bewitching hour: A Tara prequel" by Ashley Poston will be released on August 1st 2023 (I'm so gonna put a copy on hold at the public library as soon as soon as they are available for us to borrow).
If I could say one thing to Disney and/or writers right now it'd be this:
"Please do a Giles prequel! I want to read the WHOLE story about his past like his relationship with his parents, how he came to be called Ripper, how and when he met Ethan and the others (Phillip Henry, Diedre Page, Thomas Sutcliffe, and Randall), when he left the group, how he walked the path of redemption, how he became a watcher, when he left for Sunnydale and all the people who helped him and supported him during his journey before his arrival in Sunnydale. The show only give us bits and pieces of his past, freaking crumbs, I want the whole damn pie! There is so much left to be said about his past, lots of blanks left to fill and so many possibilities! Please someone do a Giles prequel or convince a writer to do one! Please, please, please, with a cherry on top! If Spike and Tara get prequels (there's a Tara prequel coming out on August 1st 2023 entitled "The bewitching hour: A Tara prequel"), why can't Gile get a prequel too? Pleaaase?"
They cannot NOT do a Gile prequel, they cannot leave him out. There has to be one at some point. Also he's one of the most interesting characters on the show and definitely one of my top favorites (and I love his father-daughter relationship with Buffy, he's done much more for Buffy than her biological father ever did, he was a much better father to her than her biological father was, and unlike her biological father, Giles was there for her, also he looked so proud of her when he saw her show up at the prom and when she graduated from high school).
That's what Rupert Giles looked like when he was in his early 20s (it's a picture shown in the TV show):

Edit:
I would rate my day 8/10.
I've been reading (a Buffy novel), cooking (spaghetti sauce) and listening to music (mostly my U2 playlist on my Youttube channel).
I also did some maths, english and geometry while listening to this kind of ambience video for focus and productivity:
