Kat! I got the book, thank you! And thanks, t, too! It's great timing, because I have the Persuasion reread, and then the SO is gone all next week (boo, but for recording, so I guess it's a good cause) so I can be all Hunger Games trilogy all week.

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."

“Today’s biggest enemy of lasting influence is the sector of both personal and corporate musing that concerns itself with the art of creating impressions without consulting the science of need ascertainment.”
I almost won't to throw that out (up?) at a meeting and see if anyone blinks. Almost.

Oh, man, do I want a Garth Williams Little-House-series original! If I ever win the lottery, that's on the top of my list.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, interesting. And Miller and Stentz have good television pedigree (Sarah Connor Chronicles and Fringe).

Cool. I knew somebody would snap it up and I hoped it would be a series instead of a movie. I was reading the sequel in the bookstore and it's very engaging.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Has anyone finished the sequel? I'm afraid to start it. I had some problems with the latter half of the first book and I want to know how the narrative structure of the 2nd is.

I haven't finished it. I do know that the reviews I've read indicate that this book is much more accomplished and assured structurally than the first one.

Does anyone have a Nook, and want to do the Lend Me thing? I'm especially curious if The Night Circus is on LendMe; I want to read it, but we're having to be super, super careful with money.
My Nook LendMe addy is erinLASTNAME AT hotmail DOT com.
(if you can't remember my last name, e-me at my profile addy -- I'm happy to lend whatever LendMe books I have on my Nook)
