Jumping in, it was A Civil Campaign.
I love Bujold!
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hey, anyone buy ebooks through Barnes and Noble?
They have a Lend an Ebook beta and I would love to know if anyone has tried it. SO far, you can do it on your PC and a Nook, but they say it's coming for iPhone/Touch soon.
I think I have one of the books in the Beta, but I would LOVE to try it out with someone.

Ok, I have Alien Taste by Wen Spencer and Demon Mistress by Yasmine Galenorn in my B&N library that are eligible for the LendMe beta, if anyone is interested.

Heh. I had to go check....but I"ve already read that Wen Spencer (and prefer her non-Ukiah Oregon books, but liked that series OK).

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Vonnie, the wife is Ekaterin. Diplomatic Immunity is the first novel after they marry, and it's kind of run of the mill mystery, set on the same space station with the quaddies as in Falling Free. I found it, astonishing for Bujold, eminently forgettable.
I wish I liked Ekaterin better than I do, but frankly there isn't a female character in the series who can compete with Cordelia. Although Alys and Lady Dono are pretty fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Isn't she Donna now? Formerly Dono?
I enjoyed the Sharing Knife series a great deal, but am Super Excited for more Vorkosigan!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Other way around - she needed a penis to inherit.

Oh, DER. I knew that.

I just finishes reading Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby. Any of you read it? I loved his take on internet culture.
