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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I tried Sexing the Cherry, but I was just...bored.

Sarah Waters, OTOH, I eat up with a spoon. Although I like the Victoriana better than the 20th c. stuff, although it is good.

Did anyone ever read "The Observations," speaking of 18th c. cryptolesbian lit? Memfault on name, but quite good.

I just finished the book One Day which is so good. Highly recommend.

Hey. New board.

I'm reading One Day right now, alternating with Catching Fire. They are both good.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Spoilers for a few characters, btw - he mentions a few chapters he's written for the next book and who they belong to. (So you know those three live to suffer another day.)

Yes, but not too spoilery. I'm just happy that he seems to be making progress.

I want to smack all the people in comments who are saying "Take your time! I can wait!"

Not that I'd prefer they were badgering him to write faster but OH MY GOD IT HAS BEEN ALMOST SIX YEARS. FINISH THE FUCKING BOOK.
