I hate her a little bit and her too-easy adolscence too.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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.

Yeah, that was an excellent piece not just on where that woman is wrong but on what we should look for in good YA fiction.
ION - ADWD was released early (by mistake) by Amazon.DE. I believe that is German amazon - so 'ware spoilers.

and this lady
who works at a high school in Idaho,
who said
You are naive if you think young people can read a dark and violent book that sits on the library shelves and not believe that that behavior must be condoned by the adults in their school life.
Wait, what? If I read it in a book, adults condone it? So when we read Huck Finn adults were condoning running away from home?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I bet they did too.
ETA: Of course, this should appease the release date doubters, shouldn't it?

Would you like me to comment there, Erin? And I would totally link that essay on fb, if you were ready for that.

Sure, sweetie! But only if you really wish to. I got het up and was all "Fuck it, this is relevant and timely to my business interests. And I'm PISSED."
I've got most things ok to be viewed, and since I've started posting stuff there, I'm good with traffic starting to trickle in pre-official launch date.
I have a few things to tweak after I'm done cleaning, but I'm...good.
I now return the thread to its regularly scheduled programming! Whoops. Forgive the mememe... And thanks for the positive

Does anyone know what time ebooks drop? The new Carey's release date is 6/29, and I'm rather impatient for it -- completist -- (and have a full day tomorrow) so I'm wanting to read it tonight.
I've waited up for books at midnight before, but I can't recall if they drop at midnight at a buyer's local time, or maybe ET? I'm hoping for ET, because then I can be asleep by 3 am.
And I don't want to keep refreshing. Although I would.
Oh, god, I am sick.
