Lisah, wasn't it just amazing? I haven't been able to stop thinking about the characters all day today.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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."

Because books.
I've been waiting for a chance to read that. The concept is amazing. Must. pay. library. fine.

I have such an urge to adapt that for the screen, Hec. But I'd be like the stupid brother in Adaptation. But I *am* thinking like an executive, all hot for the coverage without reading anything.

Amy, the concept really is and the execution of it doesn't disappoint. I have never read any of the author's other books, but I noticed I have a bargain copy of Slammerkin that I bought and didn't read so I guess I should read it.

Because books.
The only other book of hers I've read is Kissing the Witch, which is retold fairy tales. I loved it.

Just for fun, a self-pubbed author completely melting down in the comments to a review of her book. Awesome train wreck.

Hey. New board.
I like how she says "what I read above has no flaws" after the reviewer posts two obviously grammatically incorrect sentences, then calls him "discusting" shortly thereafter.

Yeah, she's a complete loon. It's awesome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, is there seriously not one post in her defense? This is the internet, man. Someone *always* agrees with you. Especially if you've gone viral.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, she has MULTIPLE positive reviews on Amazon!
