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."

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.

Hah--I was just wondering--I saw you post something about it and I hadn't realized it was even coming out--and it was in the bookstore I stopped in today with Drew. I thought books usually came out on Tuesdays like music? Huh.

I think you can get it at midnight as an ebook (if a kindle, amazon will auto-deliver if you buy now), but not sure if it's ET or local or what.

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

Thanks, meara! (Someone released it early to someone who's NOT ME -- GRUMP.)

Tuesdays ARE the usual drop date, but not always. Gail Carringer new book drops on Friday, for instance.

I'm not sure that the Amazon.de ADWD that's being shipped early is necessarily in German.

Tauntypants! sumi is mean -- pass it on!

Woot! I have the new Carey...and a ton of things to do, and houseguests coming at 3.

Duty before pleasure, stiff upper lip, wot wot?

First, fortify yourself with tea and then you'll be able to handle it all.

One of my houseguests is English, so I have the stuff from a proper cuppa!

But I already have my French press in front of me. And I'm not giving it up now!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Erin, it sounds like you're going to recreate the 100 Years War in your kitchen: English cuppa v. French press.
