"Hamlet, Revenge" by Michael Innes.
Oh, that was a fun one. It's been a while since I've read that.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

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 think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Right-o, thanks.

Because books.
I began my usual pre-Halloween reading two weeks ago. Read Holly Black's Tithe, which I really liked, and then picked up Stephenie Meyer's Twilight (Girl moves to new town, meets vampire, falls in love.), which looked promising -- and is boring me. I put it down to read Nora's Morrigan's Cross, which is all right so far, but not wowing me.
This makes me sad. I have a few stories left in a copy of Edith Wharton's Ghost Stories that I didn't finish last year, but right now I'm tempted just to reread The Haunting of HIll House.

Morrigan's Cross does get better the further you get into it. I liked the second one better, and am looking forward to the third book being released next Tuesday.

Oh, that's good. Right now I'm like, Hoyt! Stop whining.

I'm reading a "hallowe'en appropriate" book right now, that I read about in Entertainment Weekly. EW gave it an "A". I'm giving it a B+.
It's called Greywalker. and it's a supernatural mystery.

Hee! That's about right, actually. It gets better when he's not the primary focus of the story.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm rereading Dance of the Gods right now. I like it well enough, too. Not my favorite, but fun.
My favorite part in Dance of the Gods is when Glenna gives Cian the protective garment and he says, "A cloak?" and she responds, "But it's a MAGIC CLOAK! With hood!"
It makes me laugh, cause I know Nora's totally being silly with it.

Hey. New board.
I'm re-reading The Second Summer of the Sisterhood right now because I forgot my computer at school yesterday, so couldn't lesson plan, and didn't want to watch TV, so I picked up the first book in my closet.
Still not as good as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants overall, and still has the best individual story of all three books (that being, IMHO, Bridget's adventures in Alabama, for the likely zero people out there who might have read this other than me)

and then picked up Stephenie Meyer's Twilight (Girl moves to new town, meets vampire, falls in love.), which looked promising -- and is boring me.
It bored me too, and YA vampire fiction is usually one of my favorite genres to read. But it just didn't grab me.
