Was it here that people were mocking Jonah Goldberg? Because my friend Leonard is a master Jonah Goldberg-mocker.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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."

it looks like all three books are coming out in a month or two span (the last book is streetdated for Halloween).
Ohhhh... I finished this book a couple of weeks ago. I'm happy the next ones will be out so soon after! I'm a binge Nora Roberts fan - I go through spurts of reading many of her books at once, and then I have to take a break. Right now I'm finishing the O'Hurley series and probably won't come back to her for a while - at least until the next ones in the vamp love series come out.
In fact it's because of NR that I haven't read any of the books in my to-read pile...

La la la. My copy of the new Terry Pratchett novel Wintersmith turned up in the mail today. It was wonderful. I really do think Tiffany is my favorite character of his.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
:whimper:
I told myself to wait until the next con to buy Wintersmith. That's just under three weeks away. sigh...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Jilli, I cannot recommend The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl. Even as a huge comics fan, I can't recommend it. "Goth" is code for "emotionally troubled," and Fanboy is mostly a whiner.
Stoner & Spaz, by Ron Koertge, did the trope of geeky-outsider-boy-meets-edgy-rebellious-girl MUCH better.
And as for contemporary books about how high school/the teen years suck ASS, well, I would say that BTVS ruined me for any further fiction about high school sucking. I set the bar pretty high.

I'm enjoying King Dork pretty well so far. But I'm only 100 or so pages in.
