Thanks, guys. And sorry again for posting in the wrong thread. Nuance is hard while you're typing illicitly on your Kindle at work.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?
Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
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."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Woo, Dana! What? I just found out.

Ha, I reserved my whoot, too! Whoot, Dana! Congrats!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Congrats Dana!

Because books.
I would love to attend this event. I'd love to try the cake, too.

Did I mention I'm reading Shine right now and I love it? It's like a lighter version of Winter's Bone with added gay issues. And no chopping off her father's hands to prove he's dead. I also bought Blood Red Road, a Joan Bauer book and the new Rick Riordan.

I ordered Shine, but it won't ship for a few weeks, oddly.
I've heard great things about Blood Red Road, but I'd like to know what you think about it. I don't always do well with dialect-heavy narrative.

Amy, it's like 4th on my list of books to get to. I have a Gary Schmidt book from the library (have you read Wednesday Wars... I LOVED that book) as well as last year's Booker Award winner and two other books from the library that need to be read first.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Wednesday Wars was a really good book

Wednesday Wars sounds familiar, but no. I'll look it up.
I'm halfway through The Little Stranger and really loving it. I have roughly a million books to read, including Nova Ren Suma's Imaginary Girls and Kendare Blake's Anna Dressed in Blood, oh, and Jane, which is a YA with an orphaned Jane who becomes the nanny for a reclusive rock star. But I really want to get the new Stephen King with the four novellas because it's Halloweentime, and it seems fitting.
