I just finished Soulless. I think some people here have enjoyed it as well.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

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 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.

Loved, loved, LOVED Soulless. And my copy of Changeless is on its way!

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.

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.

I am only now reading Death is a Lonely Business by Bradbury. My god, what a writer. The problem with ebooks is it's not so easy to flip to the end to peek to see who's still alive at the end. Too much deliberateness about hopping to the end instead of oh-so-accidentally letting the book fall open at the last page to see who's speaking to whom.

Steph, I have the same problem with delayed gratification so I bribed my brother with Peeps (for some reason he can't find them in North Yorkshire) to pick it up and send it to me. I'm the worst parent though, I "pulled rank" with the kids so I get to read it first - they are not happy at all.

I just couldn't bring myself to pay for express shipping. For that matter, it was release in Australia/NZ in March, and I was soooooo tempted to order it from a bookstore there, but the shipping was more than double the cost of the book at every bookseller I checked. So I decided I could wait until April, but now that April is 2 days away, I'm DYING.
