Buffistas

Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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 status is NOT quo.

I am such a Skulduggery junkie now. After reading books 1-3 on my Kindle and then discovering the rest aren’t out yet, I ended up finding a deal on Books 1-5 in paperback and buying them.

By the way, this was in part inspired by Seanan McGuire’s beautiful post about why paper books are so crucially important to avoid widening the gap even more between rich and poor: [link]

If you haven’t read it, I strongly recommend it. (It may have originally been linked to here, in which case I apologize for the redundancy. It’s really worth it, though,)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Thanks for that link, Pix. If it was linked here before, I hadn't read it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I hadn't read it, and I was nodding my head.

I know P-C know SM/MG, and if I'm ever in Cali, I want an intro, because she is so fucking cool.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Barnes & Noble has the Skullduggery Pleasant book as a free download too.

Not, unfortunately, Borders/Kobo.

Guess I'll have to investigate converting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aren't the Nook and Kindle apps free downloads for most platforms? Therefore Amazon and B&N free books are free for just about anyone?

The Amazon files are in the Kindle format, which is limited to use on Kindles. B&N downloads an epub file that can be put on most anything.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

But if you have the Kindle app on your pc or whatnot, you can read Kindle books.

Yep. I have the Kindle app on my laptop, phone, and iPad.

Eenteresting. I see some experimenting with my Kobo in the very near future. (Thanks!)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I am such a Skulduggery junkie now.

Yay! How far are you, now?

I ended up finding a deal on Books 1-5 in paperback and buying them.

I'm so fanatical that I bought 4-6 from the UK because they were released there AGES before they were released here.
