I'm just wondering how Agincourt is going to go down. In a hail of toothpicks, I expect.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Okay, I like conflicted-spy Tally more than regular Tally. This story is interesting, and I am not entirely sure where it's going to go and what the general arc of the series is. I feel like Mark! Am I unprepared for shit getting real?

Shit gets real. Not Mockingjay real, but that's okay, because not every book needs to be a joyless death march of bleakness with PTSD sprinkles on top.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mmm. PTSD sprinkles.

Just the Collins books. Has anyone read Gregor the Overlander? Also grim, or so I hear.

The woman who wrote Goodnight, Moon left ownership of her copyright to the 9-year-old son of a neighbor.
This... did not turn out that well.

What the fuuuuuuuck. Well, Uglies is the first time I've seen the Hippocratic Oath used as a crucial plot device. I am very wary of this plan. And I like Tally much more than I did in the beginning.
I didn't really know what to expect from this series, but this is not what I expected.
