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."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

No, "Stone Kiss" was the second one. The first one was when he was a teenager.

OK, I checked the author's website. It was "Justice."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Ah, sorry. Google fail!

Specifically, does anyone remember which book was the first one with Chris Donatti?

He's been in more than one? I used to read her books, but I stopped after the one where Peter's oldest daughter (the one on the police force) had the horrific car accident.

He's been in three now. The first one, where he was the suspect in the prom killing (or something -- it's been a while since I read that one); the second one was where he's an adult and mobbed up and ends up helping Decker with finding a missing teenage girl in NY; and then he shows up again as a major character in the latest one. I think that he was mentioned, and maybe one or two phone calls to him, in a few others. It's developed into a totally screwed-up father figure relation with Decker, and an even more screwed-up relationship with Terry and his own kid.

Oh DUDE! I don't even have it yet! I will console myself with finishing Mockingjay so I have nothing to stand in the way when it arrives... but man it's killing me!

I'M SERIOUS! t edit About the author doing A Thing. Actually, the author does many things, but this one left me yelling at the book and shaking it. And then going, "Daaaaaamn, that's sneaky."

“Not dead yet!”

So Oprah chose FREEDOM for her final book club.

Quelle surprise

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

I'm actually shocked that she would choose another Frazen book considering what happened last time.
