Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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 just finished re-reading Lasher. I know I read it before (ages and ages ago, when it was first released), but wow. Did NOT remember that ending. And now I kinda want to read Taltos. But only if the Thrifting PTB make a 1st ed. hardback appear on one of my shopping trips. I have standards. Sort of.

I might have Taltos on my bookshelf at home. I make no promises, but I'm happy to send it over if I do. My Anne Rice collection gets pruned every time we move so I have no idea which ones are gone and which ones I've kept.

I just finished The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Horrible book. The writing and the plot made me cringe. I was tempted not to finish it, but I suffered through it hoping it would get better. It didn't. I definitely won't be reading any further books in this trilogy.

Oooh, yay! Jars, if you do, I would be delighted to give it a home.

Oh, I know. I was so disappointed in it. I kept thinking "Wait, this is part of the plot of Blade 2".

I was substituting in the middle school library last Friday, and in my utter boredom I read the first 150 pages of The Hunger Games, because I had heard good things, and it was just sitting there, alone, on a table, just asking to be read. But then I had to go home and since I am not a student at the middle school, I am sadly ineligible for checking books out. Hah.
But someone in the play I am rehearsing for is going to lend me her copy tonight. I am so excited!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm still surprised it's considered young adult. I didn't find that classification on the title page and my library has it in the sf section.

I'm not sure where they have it in my town's library, actually. That is a scary scary place which I try not to venture to too often! All I know is that my town library only has one copy and it's on hold for the next fifty thousand years, according to their website.

I loved Hunger Games and I tore through Catching Fire. Now I'm 142nd in line for Mockingjay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just finished Mockingjay. I think one of my future pieces of electronics will be named Everdeen. I really enjoyed the trilogy. Appealingly flawed protagonist. Terrible terrible world.
