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."

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

There was a great photo

That's a lot of gingham.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I finished Late Eclipses, the latest Toby Daye novel, and it's definitely my favorite since the first, especially because it's got the sort of HSQ that's been set up since the beginning, which makes me all kinds of excited for the HSQ in store for the future. Breadcrumbs everywhere!

It's okay; they were eaten by the plot bunnies.

I found a copy of Tanith Lee's Dark Dance at Half Price Books and bought it with some vague memory that this was a favorite of Jilli's.

Book one of the Blood Opera sequence! Maaaan, I wish some publishing house would put out book four.

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

Would anyone like to recommend a book for my dad? He likes historical biographies, The Civil War, Will Cuppy, and Carl Hiaasen.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

People who like Carl Hiaasen tend to like Elmore Leonard and Randy Wayne White. It's the wrong era, but C.J. Sansom's Matthew Shardlake books, set in the era of Henry VIII, are probably the best historical fiction I've read.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We are all about the David Rosenfelt books these days. [link] Mysteries built around a lawyer, his girlfriend, a former police detective who is now a PI ,and his dog, Tara. Smart, funny as hell and really well-plotted. Everyone I know who has read them, loves them.
