I'm glad I didn't have them all at once because yeah. At least it wouldn't be as bad as the couple days I lost to Twilight. Last time I checked I was up to 6 in the holds queue for Mockingjay.
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."

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

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've forced myself to take a break between books 2 and 3 ... besides, I decided Mockingjay wasn't something I wanted to read over Thanksgiving.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh! So I was complaining about the Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Next the other day (in Natter, I guess), and the good news is, 100+ pages in, stuff finally started happening. But not before several different history lessons!

Man, did he ever need an editor with a firmer hand. So much extra blah blah blah in those books.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

He was dead before they were published so he wasn't really there to work on edits. I think they just took a flier and decided to run them as is.
Though he was very stubborn, and a long time established journalist so he might've resisted changes anyway.

Yeah, I think this would probably have been the case.

Excitement! I might be getting an e-reader for the winter holidays...i've been doing some research and am totally leaning towards the nook since my library supports it and i *heart* my library. Has anyone used the sharing feature?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A Fire Upon The Deep getting a sequel. A year from now. I don't want to know this far in advance!
Erin, do you mean the lending feature? Yes, indeedy. That's how I read Mockingbird, and I've lent as well. Which reminds me--I need to send tiggy my contact info, once I remember which email I'm set up with.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
October's less than a year from now! But still too long.
I always think of A Deepness in the Sky as being a sequel to A Fire Upon the Deep. I don't know why, it clearly isn't, but it fits into that space in my head, somehow.
