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."

Eeee! The magical shipping elves at Amazon reminded me that the 7th Vampire Kisses book is coming out on Tuesday! I love when I pre-order things and then forget. Happy new vampire book, soon to be mine!

Yay fun! Those are so cute, and I love that the author is from Cincy! (I still think Raven is ultimately going to end up with Trevor.)

Hee! But the storyline keeps dropping hints! Dropping ANVILS!
I like Alexander, don't get me wrong. And I love his mother. But I don't think they are Meant To Be.

sticks fingers in ears, starts humming "Bela Lugosi's Dead" REALLY LOUD
No. Raven will become a vampire! She will, dammit!
(Alexander's mother is so awesome. I want to grow up to be her ... wait a minute, I kinda already have, haven't I?)

Help! I need suggestions for "age-appropriate" gothy reading material for elementary-school babybats. An 11 year old GCS reader wrote in asking for help.
