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!
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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Speaking of, sumi, I just read the bit in Feast for Crows where Cersei mentions Littlefinger asking for the tapestries - they must be important somehow. As I recall, they were taken down quickly after Robert died, maybe Petyr arranged for something to be wrapped in them so he could retrieve it without anyone knowing? Or maybe the tapestries themselves are important somehow, though I can't some up with a reason. I'm not sure what Petyr is after - Riverrun would make sense but I have a feeling he is thinking bigger than that. His twisty plots are beyond me.
Just a couple more days and I will have all new questions and befuddlements.

I know. I don't know whether to think that there is really something there or if it's just the sort of thing we come up with when it's been too long between books.
I mean, they were described as old hunting scenes so it seems unlikely that the tapestries themselves were intrinsically important.

Could be some kind of arcane knowledge that we don't even know would be useful, encoded in the pictures all Da Vinci Code style. We could be reading too much into it, but Littlefinger is not a guy who does things for no reason...
