Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ha, that's awesome.

Steph, I had the same reaction to the Aurelius reveal. That was nice.

while I was reading it the tone and the old-fashioned otherworldliness of it really seduced me.

Whereas they annoyed me. Heh. Guess I wasn't in the mood for that sort of thing.

Jilli, did you know there's a new Vampire Kisses book out?

Royal Blood? Or volume 3 of the manga? Yes, I have both, and they're both charming.

Royal Blood, and damn, you're fast! I just heard about it Friday and got it from the library today.

I had it pre-ordered, so it shipped to me on the release date in July. I'm a big enough fan that I periodically check to see what she's got listed as future releases, and then hit Amazon to place my pre-orders.

I do know that Julie Kenner, of the cutesy-named demon books (California Demon, Deja Demon, Demons Are Forever, Carpe Demon [and that's not the order they were written]) has a new book out tomorrow (Demon Ex Machina), which is winging its way to me as we speak.

Hee. Those are some cutesy names. Next up: Demon Little Demon Me.

I haven't read her stuff. Would I like it?

It's best described as Buffy Becomes a Soccer Mom.

I'm honestly not sure if you would like it. It's fluff. It's funny. There are definitely hints of Buffy-inspired humor that those well versed in the canon will get. There's also a lot of hand-wavium that must go on.

(I'm terrified of rec-ing books to people. Mostly cause I'm worried of the "She actually LIKES this crap? What a moron!" Not that anyone I know would actually do that, but my brain is not always a rational cookie.)
