Hm, it's showing up as "lent" in my library. Checking with customer service on how to undo that. Sorry!

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."

liese which book do you need? Cause I might have it and can lend it.
Except I can't find the Nook.

It was Catching Fire, Kat. B&N customer service is supposed to get back to me in 24-48 hrs. You can lend through their website, too.

not your mom's socks.
Hivemind, a friend views herself as a fairly mainstream reader. She's just devoured the Hunger Games series and is looking for more. Her tolerances: Victorian/Steampunk - moderate to high; vampire/zombie - resistant. Would you be so kind as to help me turn --no, wait-- help her find some more good reads? PS, she's a yarnbomber, and awfully fun.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The Affinity Bridge is good - Victorian/steampunk. Author is ... Mann?

Sox, I would recommend Oryx and Crake and Handmaid's Tale. Same dystopian fun....no zombies!

Sox, she might like Nancy Farmer's House of the Scorpion, which is a YA-adventure dystopian variation on Never Let Me Go -- and written first.

Possibly the Midnighters trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. Or, for that matter, his Uglies/Pretties/Specials trilogy.

Sox,
I am going to deviate slightly from the recommendations above and suggest the Suarez novels: Daemon and Freedom (tm).
The pacing of the novels is pretty quick and Suarez's novels have that kind of dystopian feel to them that the Hunger Games does.

Buffista authors MUST try to arrange signing at Joseph-Beth in Cincinnati if possible. It is a) awesome and b) a short walk from my house. (I faced out Cold Kiss in the YA section this morning.)
