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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Thank you, Mr/Ms GProject. That was an awesome idea, and if there is a heaven, I hope yours has ALL THE BOOKS.

Thank you, Michael Hart. A geek with a mission can change the world.
(I hope the "used home remedies" line in his obit doesn't mean he could have been with us longer if he had gone to the doctor.)

Hey. New board.
I'd say "no" because if you buy it, read it, and like it you'll have to buy both of the sequels at $9.99 each, plus, potentially, the separate "Beautiful Creatures story".
I know that's often the PURPOSE of the Deal of the Day, but still. That series doesn't look like the books are worth $9.99 to me, so why risk addicting yourself?
Signed,
Paid $9.99 for the second and third books of the Twilight series because Twilight itself was only $4.99 when I bought it on Kindle and I just COULDN'T STOP despite the horror.

Because books.
Dana, I have that in hardback, and I haven't been able to get into yet, although I would really like to. If you want to wait a bit, you can borrow it. Or you could borrow it now, if you send it back.

Oh, that's very kind, Amy, but probably not worth the effort. I am just always tempted by cheap things. I'll see if my library has it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I have - and have read - One Salt Sea, Seanan Maguire's newest book. I hadn't realized it was out, but spotted it in the bookstore.
Yay!
