Dresden Files & Thomas Sniegoski's Remy Chandler series are considered urban fantasy as well. Lewis has been eating both of those up.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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."

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!

Art Crawl!!!
That's true.
Darn it.
Also: I can recommend Ben Aaronovitch's Peter Grant books as good Urban Fantasy.

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

Because books.
A Jane Eyre question, and I can't believe I can't remember this: was Mrs. Fairfax aware of Bertha's presence, or only Grace Poole?
