Wednesday Wars was a really good book

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."

Because books.
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.

The status is NOT quo.
Jilli, have YOU read Skullduggery Pleasant yet? If not, I may need to loan you the first four paperbacks. It’s not YA horror, but it’s BEYOND AWESOME, and I know you would love it.

Anna Dressed in Blood looks really good, Jilli, but I'll let you know what I think when I start it. There are more but I have look some up.
I'm dying to read Gretchen McNeil's Ten, which comes out next year (and might not be called that anymore at that point), but it's definitely horror.

We had a cup of tea today in the little cafe where JK Rowlings began writing Harry Potter in Edinburgh. There will be pictures eventually.

I have not read Skullduggery Pleasant yet! I keep being told I would really like it.

The title sounds good.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
You would! Although there's a couple chapters in the second book that you should probably not read.
