New Sara Gruen book is in! It's called Ape House if anyone is interested.
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."

I have it in my hands right now! I ordered it ages ago, so it was a pleasant surprise.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Did I mention that I finished Blameless the other day? Lots of fun!
Oddly, what I dug the most was the character development of Ivy. And I laughed my ass off at Conall drinking the formaldehyde from Lyall's specimen jars of sheep fetuses and eating the contents and referring to them as a "crunchy treat."
I thought the Templar stuff got a bit tedious, but not horribly so.
Finally, I want to know more about Floote.

Steph, I know! Ivy not a complete scatterbrain! Clever! I was so delighted about that. And OH MY GOD, BIFFY IS A WEREWOLF AND AKELDAMA IS THE NEW POTENTATE, iiiieee!
I get to meet Gail Carriger on Friday. I'm so excited!

The status is NOT quo.
I thought Blameless was tons of fun. Hurray for Gail Carriger!
Jilli, I'm excited you get to meet her, but I think she needs to understand that she is writing about YOU. I mean, seriously, half the fun of reading the books is that I quite shamelessly picture you in the main role. How could I not? (And yes, this does make Pete a cranky werewolf, and I will say no more on that account except heeeheehee.)

I'm way more whimsical than Alexia?

Who ELSE do you think was playing that role in my mind?
