Has anyone read the new Jennifer Crusie book, Maybe This Time? I just started it, and I like it. It feels a little darker than her previous books.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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."

Because books.
This is the one she started eons ago and put away when she started writing with Bob whathisface. I'm interested to get it, because I really didn't like the books she did with him.

I have those but haven't read them because I heard so many good things about them. This is more of her usual style with added ghosts. The one thing I am not liking about it is that the main couple do not spend much time together in the first half of the book, more time thinking about each other. I'm hoping things will pick up a bit in the second half.
Aims, I was thinking of you especially when I posted. I knew you would want to know about a new Crusie.

Seanan won the Campbell! Sorry, Gail Carriger fans, but I'm excited as fuck.
Also, The Windup Girl and The City and the City tied. Does that happen often? I want to read them both.

Congrats to Seanan, P-C. I really enjoyed Feed, and I'm looking forward to the next one. It's also props to her agent Diana, whom I'm friends with--I suspect this will also be good for her career as well.

Oh, that's cool, 'Suela! Seanan has nothing but wonderful things to say about Diana. She's her own personal superhero.
I'm currently in the middle of An Artificial Night. Each book in this series is so different. I haven't read many urban fantasy series, so I don't know if that's common. There are so many of them I kind of expect them to have the same general plot structure.

I once spent a couple of hours talking with Diana about various ficwriters we knew, and she was badgering me to write something long and original she could represent--before I figured out who she was. *grins*
If only I had something I could give her! Sigh.
