t holds her matched LOTR set close
They don't understand, my precious, no, they don't, you're nothing like those other books, no, not at all. They're all cribbing off of you, sssss.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have discovered that my local library has BOTH the new Elliott and the new Bujold. I must go there this weekend and pay down my ginormous fines and put holds on books.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok, for those Shel Silverstein fans: Em got "Runny Babbit" for her birthday and ohmigawd. Joe and I were reading it tonight and we had tears running down our faces. It's so very good.

Thrive to spite them
I'm late to the game, I just finished His Majesty's Dragon. WOW! That is an amazing book, I nearly ran over my lunch break I was reading the excerpt of Throne of Jade. Now I'm torn -- do I run out and buy it after work or wait and add these books to the top of my Christmas list.

That may help, although as exciting as the battles are I really like the relationship between Laurence and Temeraire.
Is it just three books or is she planning on writing more?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
