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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I caved and pre-ordered the Kindle version. Which means I'll also be buying the paperback at some point (I hate it when series don't match on my shelves), but I get to read it NOW.

Well "now" meaning on midnight July 12th. Not "now" now.

Interview with Gail Carriger.
I is dumb. I hadn't realized that she was parodying specific types of 19th century literature.

I just read that, sumi. I didn't know either, and it will totally inform my re-reads.
Did you see the cover for her next book?! SHINY!

We'll just say that there is so much more in the characterization and plots that we didn't need to get that to enjoy the books. But you're right. Must re-read with this new knowledge.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Epbot had a post about "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children". It sounded right up the alley of some of the 'istas. Anyone read it?

Because books.
I posted a link to the first chapter a few weeks ago -- I think it looks fantastic.
