Ha, I reserved my whoot, too! Whoot, Dana! Congrats!
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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."

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.

I have not really been reading YA in the same depth I was reading it 4 years ago. When I went to my local indie, I was shocked at how they have YA and then they have as large a collection of supernatural YA. So interesting.
I'm really looking forward to Joan Bauer.

I'm catching up on YA because I don't read it when I'm writing it. And through Twitter and whatever, I've stumbled across a lot that's really appealing, especially the horror-like stuff, which I love.
