Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but come on.
THERE WOULD BE FUCKING. And I don't just mean Katniss and Peeta (actually, Peeta always struck me as a little flabby and unappealing, and I don't know why, because obviously he was in decent enough shape to survive the damn first Games). I mean alla them teenagers.

I'm only in the second book, but I have been thinking that too. There's no sex in the 3rd book either? In the second book when they lie about the pregnancy, I wondered for a second if there was sex and we just weren't told about it.

Teppy, done. No worries about spoiling me. I'd rather know now on that one.

Is Soulless the first in a trilogy? Or the first in an on-going series?

Soulless was going to be the first in a trilogy, from what I understand. But I know that there's a 4th book in the works.

Steph, that is a very good point. Even if Katniss doesn't want to have sex, a bunch of the other kids would be.

Eeee, Blameless was great! And oh, Lord Akeldama is now the potentate of the Shadow Council, and Biffy is a werewolf. ZOMG!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Just finished Mockingjay. Apparently I read the second book too long ago because there was a lot referenced to it that I was like, "What was up with the berries again?"

ooops.

I totally agree with you on the gratuitousness of some of the deaths. What the fuck? There is no place for hope or joy in Katniss's life. Ever. And when she made Gale a Go-fucking-kill-em-all soldier boy I just sort of stopped caring about the "tension" wrt the relationship. I like knowing how things ended, but I can't imagine liking the book on its own merits.

From the slate article this is so true:

Mockingjay sated me, but it didn't satisfy me.
