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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yeah, I'm going to be doing a fairly massive book-culling if we're going to be looking at moving. The cookbooks will definitely be thinned and the fiction as well.

DIBS! I CALL DIBS!!

I LOVE Jennifer Crusie and wish she had new stuff out. I should go dig up "Fast Women" or "Bet Me" and re-read them. I love those two the most.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

"Faking It" is my favorite, possibly because it was the first one I read, and things like that always stick with me. But I love "Bet Me" and "Welcome to Temptation" too.

I actually love Tell Me Lies maybe the most, but that was my first. Bet Me or Fast Women would be next.

Crusie was my first breath of fresh air after a diet almost composed entirely of Nora Roberts, LaVyrle Spencer, and People magazine. I read it three times in a row and then ran out and bought everything else.

Strangely, Faking It is my least favorite. I like Crazy in Love more, even.

And her old reprints are good fun, too.

I never could get through the first collaboration with Bob Whoever, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I thought my first was Welcome to Temptation, and then I discovered I had one of her old category romances called Charlie All Night.

Oh man, I LOVE Temptation. The porno, and the wallpaper, and FINN, and all of it. Great book.

“Not dead yet!”

I never could get through the first collaboration with Bob Whoever, though.

And he's a dickhead.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

"Faking It" is my favorite Crusie, and like Teppy it was also my first.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Faking It is also my favorite, and to make it better, the cover illustration looks like me AND there is a character with my name in the book!
