I have to pop in to say that I'm reading Dracula and the Twilight series at the same time, a state which is pretty baffling to my little brane. Hee.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Maybe Dracula will eat Bella.

“Not dead yet!”
Maybe Dracula will eat Bella.
One can but hope.
Also, anyone who enjoys Hemingway or knowing of him, should pick up THE PARIS WIFE by Paula McClain. It's a novel told from the POV of Hadley Richardson, Hemingway's first wife and chronicles their lives from their first meeting until their divorce. Beautiful story.

I'm vastly amused by a voicemail I got from my niece yesterday. She's in college, and she called to say that she overheard a girl at school saying something about "--and they all fight to the death in this big arena!"--and so my niece ran up to her and asked if they were talking about The Hunger Games and they were, and they squeed for a few minutes and my niece learned about the movie, and before she even got back to her dorm she called me to tell me about it.
... I have another geek in the family! And she doesn't even know! *grins*

I've just pre-ordered an e-copy of The Pale King. I was debating whether to get it in a hardcopy or not, as the physical bigness of Infinite Jest was a not insignificant aspect of the experience of reading it for me.

I was deeply amused to learn that the author of Mockingjay had previously written for "Clifford: The Puppy Years."

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I enjoyed the interview with Collins. And I think her unbendingness on the necessity to kill Prim is very consistent with the article and the Mockingjay!
