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.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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'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.

Yeah. It's all "yes, it's still raining" and "Edmund is so pale" and "instead of rain, it's snowing" and I'm thinking, Get on with it already! I put it down shortly after he saved her from being hit by the car in the icy parking lot, and I skimmed enough to know that he reveals who he is, blah blah, but I just ... don't care.
Sad. It has such a pretty cover, too.

I know. That's part of what got me to pick it up in the first place.
I still think the most fun YA vampire series I've run across are the Vampire Kisses books by Ellen Schreiber. The main character is a 16 year old goth girl, and is adorable. The books have become part of my comfort re-reading list.

Always Anti-fascist!
I have actually read that, Gris. Not even I am always about murder and cocaine.
