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."

Because books.

Wow, I had no idea. Jude Deveraux scammed by a psychic.

Connie Willis had two books!

It was one book in two volumes and I'm glad they treated it as such. I also loved it.

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

I really should read Connie Willis at some point, given how much I love time travel mayhem.

Everyone should read Connie Willis. Immediately.

Well, today, I'm going to read Lauren Beukes.

Wrong answer.

But she's coming to Borderlands all the way from South Africa!

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I'm on an Amelia Peabody reading binge myself, for which I blame thank Jilli.

I liked Zoo City but I thought it ended too abruptly.

I'm reading The Leper of St. Giles, though I may pop over and read some of The Woman in White as well. Yay, my nook.
