Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

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."

Hee! Book trailer for Feed and Deadline. That's not how Shaun sounds in my head, but heh.
Also, for those whose interest has been piqued by all the talk, here's a great review that doesn't spoil either book.

No, that's not at all how Shaun sounds in my head.
The review says Feed is Mira Grant's debut novel. Is that how it works? Debuts are based on nom de plume?

Because books.
It would be the debut novel under that name, yeah.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I...did.
Kind of.
I was excited about it...but it did NOT grab me at all. I found it pretty damned boring, and I like academically-oriented fiction (a la The Secret History or Possession.)
It was derivative, but worse: boring. I made it halfway though, and stopped, which is a true rarity for me. Especially when I paid for a book.
YMMV, of course.

Hey. New board.
My wife loved it. I, too, got bored after about 30 pages, but I often get bored by supernatural fantasy series these days (my phase of loving them is on hiatus, apparently) so I don't know why.

I read the kindle sample for it and really hated it.
