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 The Shadow of the Wind waiting on my nook. I love my nook. I get library books on it. I also have a couple of books I could lend, if someone here wants to borrow them.
There was probably more than one weird scene, but the one that really bugged was the one where she and Tybalt are talking about lies.
One of my LJ friends has an interesting theory about what Tybalt was referring to.
I dunno. That seems to be what she's been building toward...
I think Toby's going to end up not being a changeling; but hidden as a changeling for some reason to protect her. it's why she gets headaches when she does her magic. It's running up against some sort of magical block.
It bugged me that the lie bit was so Extra Mysterious because it seems kind of obvious something's going on with Toby's parentage. . I dunno. I am half-afraid the lie he thinks she's telling herself is that she's madly in love with him and pretending not to be. Which would make it a romance novel cliche.
Well, on PC's recommendation, I got R&R and liked it enough that I got the second one before I'd finished the first. I recently finished the third and thought it was the best, most memorable, of the three. I'm about half-way through Blameless and I like it, but I'm not as crazy about the series. And I - finally! - go to The Hunger Games and I'm planning on getting the next two at some point ... maybe after I've whittled down my to be read pile a bit.
I just read a couple of books by a new-to-me author. Kelly Meding. Three Days to Dead is the first. It's got a bit of a Nikita vibe--young criminals taken in and trained by a super-secret org to police the monsters.
I like the world-building quite a bit. This is the blurb:
She’s young, deadly, and hunted—with only three days to solve her own murder…
When Evangeline Stone wakes up naked and bruised on a cold slab at the morgue – in a stranger’s body, with no memory of who she is and how she got there – her troubles are only just beginning. Before that night, she and the other two members of her Triad were star bounty hunters — mercilessly cleansing the city of the murderous creatures living in the shadows, from vampires to shape-shifters to trolls. Then something terrible happened that not only cost all three of them their lives, but also convinced the city’s other Hunters that Evy was a traitor . . . and she can’t even remember what it was.
Now she’s a fugitive, piecing together her memory, trying to deal some serious justice – and discovering that she has only three days to solve her own murder before the reincarnation spell wears off. Because in three days, Evy will die again – but this time, there’s no second chance…
Oh dear, Fern bottle-feeding Wilbur. WANT.
I really want the one where he is in the baby buggy with her doll!
I think I must be hormonal, because looking at these illustrations made me tear up.
I want the one with Templeton, whom I adore. (Which probably says unflattering things about me.)
Oh my god, I would kill for one of those.
