We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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."

Art Crawl!!!

I want stuff in series to be in the same format. (So that I can stack/shelf/otherwise place them together more easily.)

And really? I can mostly only afford mass market.

I prefer trade to HC - I don't find them as comfortable to read, and the trade are still prettier and heftier than the mass market size.

I feel lucky if I manage to get all the books by one author in one place.

Wrod.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

okay - my shelves have the same author together. rough alphabetical ( due mostly to lack of space . really. 9 shelves slight over 3 1/2 feet long does not come close to holding everything) But since books are often bought without plan , matching a series is crazy talk.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My authors are together and arranged in chronological order by when they were released.

I am an anal-retentive freak of nature.

Well, as Imperial mottoes go, I've heard better. I'm not sure how this will look on a coat of arms.

What if I ammended it to, "I am an anal retentive freak of nature. Bitches!"

That should work.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I have books arranged alphabetically by author, and alphabetically by title within an author. Now I just need to actually shelve the books I've read over the last few months, and see how many more bookcases I need. :)
