Buffistas

Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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 always recommend the audiobook by Stephen Briggs as it's extremely funny.

Now THAT is something I should buy for Canada this year.

(I've also purchased a 48-part lecture series on the history of China, but my fellow passengers may prefer Pratchett...)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

"Oh, Waily waily! They've got a lawyer!"

And next will come the foldin' o' the arms, and the tappin' o' the feet!

Man, I love the Nac Mac Feegle. I would read an entire novel about the one who ended up on the Watch. Wee Mad Angus?

ION, I came by the thread to post this link, which is a great writeup about a new Buffista book: [link]

I will have to see if I can get it on my Kindle...

Also, I have The Wee Free Men on my bedside table waiting to be read.

If Deathly Hallows were an anime: [link]

That's really awesome, although I can't figure out who the redhead with the earrings is in the top 1/3.

ETA: I am informed that "the woman in the earrings" is supposed to be Bill Weasley. Confounded by my unfamiliarity with the conventions of anime!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The two I can't figure out are the older man behind Neville and the dark hared young man between the Malfoys and the Weasleys, with the necklace.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Regulus Black and Luna's dad?

I am guessing.

what -t said.

Or that could be Ollivander.

No, I think that's Xeno Lovegood otherwise I think Griphook would be represented too.

That makes sense- I kept thinking it was Sirius, but of course Sirius was with the Marauders. And it must be Luna's dad! Thank you!
