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 status is NOT quo.

How much longer before the climax?

move out and draw fire

I started reading "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" but stopped about a third of the way in.

I've heard this from a bunch of folks, but the whole presentation of the book is right up my DH's alley, so I got it for him. He actually quite liked it.

It is the first in a series, though, and doesn't even make a pretense of ending. Basically, it's the "inciting incident" for the overall story. Yes, the whole book is the inciting incident.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Gris, i read that the goal is 7 books (7 kingdoms, 7 aspects of the divine..)

And given how long #5 took, i think we can all safely assume we will not live to see the climax.

It was originally supposed to be a trilogy, then a four book series, then six. Hopefully seven will stick. I'm hoping that the final two books will be easier for him to write because hopefully he has a clear end game. I think the middle just got away from him a bit.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just finished Pretties, and, ah! I did not see this coming, and yet I totally should have seen this coming.

It's kind of distracting how much I'm reminded of Hunger Games, even though this came first. I think it's just that they use a lot of the same genre tropes.

Apparently, it is possible for a few complainers to get a book pulled from Amazon.com's shelves.

Sorry - use Amy's link below. I cannot find that story again.
