I may be conflating some things she said. It may be that we're going to learn more about her dad in the fourth or fifth books, and the YA series is about a girl unconnected to the Tarabottis. When she told us, she wasn't supposed to since it hadn't been officially announced yet, so we weren't supposed to spread it, but that was back in April, so I presume there's been an announcement of some sort made by now.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Raq, I knew what you were talking about even before I hovered over your link.

I just finished Catching Fire. There was so much HSQ at the end; if I didn't have to leave right now to pick up this weeks CSA, I would already be reading Mockingjay. I'm glad I decided to wait and read them all at once.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I'm glad I decided to wait and read them all at once.
Yeah, I sort of wished I'd reread the first two before picking up Mockingjay. In fact, a reread of book one, at least, may be in my future...

"Glimpses" is available online. A book I really loved when it first came out:
Here is the boing boing link which includes a decent description:

Not sure that Cory is right when he says it has a rock n' roll attitude. The book, in spite of melodramatic seems, has a fair amount of quite meloncholy and understatement which I don't associate with a rock n' roll attitude (not that there are not classic rock n' roll songs which use those things, but not I think the core rock n' roll attitude.) But still this is a book to marvel at, and I think is truly in love with the music. I wonder if Hec ever read it, and if so what he thinks of it.

Hang your favorite book on the wall with the book's text, arranged to depict a memorable scene from the book!

Ooooh. I bet they only are making public domain books, tho'. Otherwise I'd request a poster for Something Wicked This Way Comes.
