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."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Do you like zombies? How about darkity-dark humor? How about fucked-up romance? Then run, do not walk, to read Breathers.

It is wickedly, marvelously fucked up. It is screamingly funny, abundantly disturbing, and disturbingly funny.

Because books.

That looks excellent, Tep!

I finished Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely and The Hunger Games this weekend, and loved them both. I have the next books in each series requested at the library. I'm especially eager to read the follow-up to The Hunger Games.

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

Good to hear, Steph. A friend of mine was reading it earlier this year, and I was wondering how it was.

Heh. Then I went to Shelfari...I avoided LibraryThing, but succumbed to the lure of Shelfari because there's no book limit, and I can link it to my facebook.

And, you know, cause I'm jobless and trying to resctructure my insomnia.

But the recommendations are SO ALLURING! I need money for books. Waaaahhh.

Oooh, I didn't think anyone else here uses Shelfari. My sister-in-law got me to join. I mostly use it to keep track of what I want to read, but I fill in comments when I can because she checks for recommendations.

How do you link it to FB?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does LibraryThing have limits? I gave into their crack quite helplessly, but I think I may have ended up paying them money for some reason.

Because books.

Only the first two hundred books listed on LibraryThing are free, ita.

Yeah, to go over 200 books on LT, apparently you gotta shell out.

To add Shelfari to FB, go to your shelf, then "more" then "My Widgets"

Go to the text under the graphic where it says "Does it work on my blog / web site?" The Shelfari widget works on most blogs and social networks, including Blogger, LiveJournal, MySpace, Typepad, Xanga, Vox, Wordpress.com and more. It also works on Facebook. To create a widget enter your site URL in the text box on the right side and press the Get Started button."

Hit the Facebook hotlink, then it will get you all connected. Then you add FB friends to share with.

Are we FB friends, Megan? (I feel like a tool just asking that!)

No I haven't friended anyone that I thought might not know my real name. I will anon.
