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."

Does anyone know what book this is describing?

“I'll give you a hint...it's about a Vampire and Witch (not a young adult novel) and they talk incessantly about wine, tea, horseback riding and yoga (kinda makes me want to barf). There's a lot of historical stuff thrown in, which makes it pretty interesting at times. But, yeah, I kinda can't believe I am still reading it.”

Because books.

I have no clue, megan.

In other news, a piece on The Bechdel Test and classic literature.

The comments list a few novels that pass, but I'm trying to come up with more.

megan, the Sookie Stackhouse books maybe? I have never read one so it's a shot in the dark

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, definitely not Sookie.

That could be. I only read the sample of that book, which I didn't like. It is about a vampire and a witch though. I didn't like it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Is Aslan a man? If not, then The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. Also, I think mny mystery books might- Miss Marple, Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, if only because they are discussing the mystery?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Miss Marple totally does.

Miss Marple rules.

Looks like it was, in fact, A Discovery of Witches.

I read it...and can't remember what it was about. Quite bland.
