Buffistas

Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Discussion Threads

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.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

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.

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)
