Thanks, Dawn! That's good to know.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

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."

Totally agreed--I liked the second book more, and it's more Lisbeth, I felt. I'm looking forward to the third book (...at some point. I figure I'll pick it up in an airport somewhere when it's in paperback and I'm all desperate for something to read and go "Oooh! I can read THAT! Yes!")

The second book was just way more developed, character-wise and plot-wise, which is often the case I think, but weird in Larsson's case since my understanding is he didn't submit them to a publisher until he had all three.

For DCistas: Turning the Page. Cheap books, money to a good cause. I just have to keep myself from buying back the books I gave them ....

Really.
I said, "Jilli says hi."
She said, "Who?"
"Cupcake Goth."
"Oh! I only know people from their LJ names. I love her videos!"
Also, you have a message involving cupcakes, Goths, and parasols in your book that will go out tomorrow. Also an e-mail with secret information.

I would dearly love to have tea with her. She seems very fun.

She was more normal and down-to-earth than I expected. I thought she would be all quirky and twee, like she was putting on a persona, but she wasn't, which was nice.
She says she'll be in Seattle in November for a steampunk conference, so you can set up a tea date then.

Good heavens, she's going to be at SteamCon? I guess I have to go then (I'd been waffling).
