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.

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 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.

Because books.
Good god, I still have to read Catching Fire. You blew right through those, huh?

I read the first two in a day each. Migraines got in the way of Mockingjay, but I felt quite unlike myself, getting through them. I have a weakness for the trope, methinks.
