Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

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."

Just placed a big order with Amazon (dvds) and had to pick up a copy of Watership Down for my collection. I reread it four years ago after not reading it since 8th grade, and have been wanting to read it again.
Also looked to see if a romance series I've been reading for several years (Robin D. Owens Celta series) had its annual update yet, and since it was released a few weeks ago I was able to add it to my order. Yay! I don't read too many romances anymore, but Owens and Nora Roberts (just her trilogies/quartets) are always on my to-buy list, as is Loretta Chase (who publishes all too rarely).

Heh. I flew to Hawaii today for work, and was annoyed I couldn't read Mockingjay on the plane (left too early to buy a copy) so I stopped on my way to the hotel and bought it to read poolside. Just finished!! Will have to reread though, for more detail.
A little way in I was all "seriously? What?" and then it got better. And then it got worse. And them way better in the very hunger games fucked up way. I'm still not sure about the end of the ending (y'know, last page or so the stuff) but the main plottiness I was all "oooh".

Mockingjay left me really depressed. I didn't hate it though.

Darn UPS. They left me a notice rather than a book.

Darn UPS. They left me a notice rather than a book.
And yet they double park their trucks everywhere impeding my commute.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The notice left you really depressed. You didn't hate it though.
