Anyone read today's Kindle Deal of the Day? Worth buying?
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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."

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!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Thanks for sharing that, Sox. Made a wonderful start to my week.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Loaned Rosemary & Rue to a coworker last Friday. I found it on my chair this morning with a note saying she finished it and has ordered the sequels for her kindle. P-C, does Seanan have any sort of toaster incentive program?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I wish! I would have a kitchen full of toasters.
