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."

I've listened to both Fry and Dale, and I'd say Gris nailed it. There are a few Dale voices that grate on me, but they are more distinctive.

I'd recommend The Golden Compass for a good audiobook listen it has a cast rather than a single reader, which is great.

I mostly liked Dale, but his Hermione and Luna voices just didn't work for me at all. I really liked his voices for everybody else, though, and he was great at describing action.

I have found Pratchett makes for excellent audiobook reading. I'm currently most of the way through Small Gods.

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

I just finished Soulless. I think some people here have enjoyed it as well.

Thrive to spite them

I liked Soulless, it did take me a bit to get into it but now I can't to read the next one/.

I've also mainlined Kim Harrison's Hollows series. Really enjoying that.

Art Crawl!!!

I ordered both yesterday.

Oh, I turned a friend on to Diana Wynne Jones books. She needed something light and absorbing. (She's feeling down.) So I discovered that a new Diana Wynne Jones book is coming out on the 10th.

Stayed up last night to finish The Hunger Games. Reserved the second volume this morning. Thankful that I am only hold #4 because I don't think I can wait that long to read it.

I started Bad Monkeys on the walk back from the library, and I was already intrigued. And then I read some more at home and I seriously wanted to just keep reading until I was done. I stopped myself, though. But, damn, I haven't encountered a true "page-turner" like this in a while.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Stayed up last night to finish The Hunger Games. Reserved the second volume this morning. Thankful that I am only hold #4 because I don't think I can wait that long to read it.

When I read them, that's basically what I did; when I realized I was getting close to the end, I ran to the computer and reserved the second one.

I'm horrible at delaying gratification, especially when it comes to books, which is killing me, because I ordered the 4th Skulduggery Pleasant book from Amazon UK, since it's being released there this Thursday and there is no US release date yet. But since I know it's being release Thursday, the waiting for transatlantic shipping is going to KILL ME.
