I approve of that choice.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

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."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Thanks for posting that, Dana! I splurged a little.

Everyone tell the dread spirits of eBay to be nice to me: I'm the current high bidder on a signed 1st edition hardback of The Vampire Lestat. It's not in pristine condition - there's a stain on the bottom edge of the book. But still! Signed! First edition! Oooh, I hope I win.

Somebody knows how to push my presets: All Men of Genius: mixes Steampunk, Hogwarts, crossdressing and Twelfth Night.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ooo, that looks like fun!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Oooh. That does look intriguing. That will go on my TBR list after "Cold Kiss."
I just finished the third book in the "Leviathan" trilogy, and I was well-pleased. I thought the part where Alek figured out that "Dylan" was really "Deryn" was very nicely done, as was its aftermath. It felt organic, and not too horribly contrived.
Also, I found the ending to be nicely satisfactory, although I would have liked to have gotten something about Volger's reaction to Alek's decision to not pursue his claim to the throne. Given how central that was to Volger, having his reaction be a pat quote in a newspaper seemed like a narrative cop-out. Even having Alek acknowledge that Volger would be pissed would have helped.
