I wish I could, -t! I mean, I want it RIGHT NOW. And I have no Kindle, and no bookstore is open now. So I'm sadfaced and counting the minutes till I can get to the bookstore tomorrow.
Jon and Arya and Dany are the biggest draws for me.
It's all about the coat.

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."

Because books.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, I see the dilemma. Lack of instant gratification bites! When I bought the first one, my BiL gave me the next two to be ready, so I wouldn't have to wait. I wish I could shove them through the interwebs to you now.

Because books.
Wouldn't that be nice?
I didn't expect to like it so much. I generally like fantasy and sci-fi better filmed, and only a few of the books. Martin might not be a really sophisticated stylist, but he tells a damn good story.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha. I borrowed the first one from my elibrary. I read it, loved it, and immediately put myself on the waitlist for the remaining ones. I had a pause after book two but I am now plowing through three and four.

It's a ripping yarn. I just love the characters. I am often a plot-driven reader, I will keep reading because I need to find out what happens next, but I find with ASoIaF that what I need to find out is what happens next to these particular people. And wolves.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The two I got right were the two books I'd read although I thought I recognized DFW (I was wrong) and I thought Naipaul was a woman.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I just finished Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves
I have no clue what I really think of this books. It is real horror. and horrible . but strip away all that and I found the mother/daughter relationship interesting and the boy /girl relationship very true with outh the over written drama of so many teen books
I'm stumped. Most of the people that hated it on Amazon didn't find it readable. I couldn't put it down

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Tonight I discovered that Community College of Vermont offers a class " The Vampire in Literature, Culture & Film". I am going to take that class.
Do eeet. And report back.
I got 3 of 10. And have resolved never to read Naipaul. Asshole.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I got 5 out of 10. None of the passages were familiar to me, even the ones from books I'd read.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I finally read Someone to Run With, the book Shir sent me for Secret Santa a couple years ago! It was really good!
