Thanks!

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.

I like the Anti-Poem.
I was going to suggest..
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I hate writing this poem
Let alone two

I'm so making a crosstitch sampler with that on it.
(Meaning I have to learn crosstitch, first...)

Has anyone read any of the books in this io9.com article?
The fact that they explicitly call out the fact that some of the protagonists are gay makes me want to read them, but only if they come with reasoned, non-hype reviews from people whose opinions I trust (i.e. you Buffistas, not a website who lists one of its contributors in the article).
Danke!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
StuntHusband, if you want to read noir fantasy, I recommend Rosemary and Rue.

P-C, thanks - but I'm interested in the queer fiction, not noir fantasy. That's why I asked about the books in that article.

Have you read Hero?
No! I hadn't heard of it; it's been 25 years since I thought about looking at YA fiction for myself. :) (about the time that Misty Lacky was finishing up "The Last Herald-Mage", and I - like a lot of my peers in sciffy fandom who were gay, latched on to Vanyel as our role-model...kinda)
Thank you :)

Haven't read any of those, SH. Though do recommend Jes Battis, whose main protagonist is a straight female, but her roommate (who is a huge part of both books out so far) and a lot of other characters are queer/trans/etc (and have love lives etc). It's all set in Vancouver and is very much a large part of the scene. I was quite pleased.
