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."

Hmm, I read one of the weather books and didn't really feel inclined to find more.

I have now finished the first of the Fever books. Quick read. And knowing that the books only get better means that I bought the second one right away. (Ways in which my kindle doesn't help my bank account. . . but at least it saves space.)

And in e-reader news: Library Thing has introduced their ereader.

“Not dead yet!”

Dresden Files & Thomas Sniegoski's Remy Chandler series are considered urban fantasy as well. Lewis has been eating both of those up.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And in e-reader news: Library Thing has introduced their ereader.

Nicely snarky, too:

"Though a ground-breaking arrangement with most publishers, the LibraryThing-e comes pre-installed with up to 200 of your LibraryThing books already scanned in; HarperCollins titles are restricted to a 26-page sample."

Burn!

That's true.

Darn it.

Also: I can recommend Ben Aaronovitch's Peter Grant books as good Urban Fantasy.

I can recommend Ben Aaronovitch's Peter Grant books as good Urban Fantasy.

Those were recently recommended to me elsewhere.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I read the first one and liked it very much. Are there more out already?

The second one came out in March. (Moon Over Soho)
