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."

Hmmm, let's see.

Hey. New board.
I read "Feed" yesterday (the advantage of waiting in line for Shakespeare in the Park is lots of time for reading) and I find myself agreeing with almost everything P-C wrote earlier. It's awesome. Definitely the best work by Seanan McGuire / Mira Grant. So good, in fact, that I'm almost sad this is the one that will be associated with the pseudonym, rather than the perfectly fun but not nearly as mindblowing Toby Daye books.

Keep breathing!
You'd think after all these years hanging out around here that I would have picked up a book by our own Deborah Grabien before, but no, I've just now gotten my hands on Matty Groves and I'm LOVING it. Thank you, Deb, for a great read. Now I'm looking forward to enjoying more of your work.

Ha. Yeah. The Toby books will be going on for longer, though, so there's that. I hope they become more mindblowing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Did people here say they had a hard time getting into Changeless? Because I did. I'm finally past the halfway point (and, uh, it's pretty obvious that Alexia is pregnant, right? [DON'T ANSWER THAT]), and I'm finally engrossed in it. But I can't put my finger on what made it so hard to get into this time.
Which is not to say that I won't read Blameless, because I will.
(Like a total geek, I have a list of what books are coming out when: Mockingjay in August, Blameless and the new Skulduggery Pleasant in September, and Behemoth [Scott Westerfeld's sequel to Leviathan] in October. And I am not a patient woman.)

I had the opposite experience. I got into it much faster than I got into Soulless since it went right into the plot.

It's possible that since I tried to start it when I was in the middle of oh-crap-my-antidepressant-isn't-working that I just couldn't concentrate.

I will have to pick up The Hunger Games sometimes soon, as I hear so much good about it.

Yes! I was all set to buy it for my niece's birthday and was saddened to learn that she had read them both already.
