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.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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 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.

I was trying to explain the premise of Hunger Games to my mom and she looked at me funny and said "and you read this for FUN?". Apparently I did not convince her that postapocalyptic struggle to survive against people trying to kill you is entertaining?

May the odds be ever in your favor!
I finished Changeless, and I was right about what I guessed, although I didn't see the twist coming afterward. Interesting.
Also -- oh, IVY.

Yeah, Jilli, I kinda thought that was an asspull. I mean, has a soulless ever gotten together with a were before? Geez, leap right into the Pit o' Conclusions, dude.

And good lord
Right? I felt that was maybe just a *skosh* over-the-top, even for him. I know, I know, he's 200+ years old, and a werewolf has never been able to reproduce, blah blah supernaturalcakes, but still. And he's intelligent enough to realize, oh, yeah wife is soulless, so maybe that's a new wrinkle. Durrrr.
Like I said, only a *skosh* over the top.
Also, I love Mme. Lefoux. LOVE. When she was all, "Sure, throwing someone over a dirigible is one thing, but destroying an aetherograph WHY GOD WHY?!?" it made me laugh my ass off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
