You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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."

Yeah, I've got the Kindle app on my phone, laptop, and iPad. Which means I can have Dracula, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and The Night Circus with me ALL THE TIME.

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

I'm trying to make shelves on my Nook, and I can't because everything that's not YA or SFF has nothing to do with each other. I just get impulses. I hope I do actually finish Fear Of Flying, though.

Because books.

I have to read The Night Circus. I should pay my library fines, because I've way overbought books recently.

ita, shelve it in YA. That's when I read it!

Amy, you MUST read The Night Circus! I need more people to wibble at about it! It's a gorgeous book. And (very importantly to me), while it is gorgeous and I want to live in it, it doesn't fill me with despair about what *I'M* writing. Which, yes, I was worried about before I read it.

Jilli, I want to so much. I can't believe I forgot about it when buying books.

not your mom's socks.

I can't wait to read the Night Circus - next month though. boo.

I also can't wait to read what Jilli's writing. But I say that every so often.

Art Crawl!!!

I totally plan on reading The Night Circus.

The Night Circus really is just the sort of thing I eat up with a spoon. I'll admit, I'm a tiny (TINY) bit jealous that Erin Morganstern was able to get a book out there with the black & white color scheme as part of the plot, but I'll get over it.

I really do want to run away and join Cirque du Reves. Perhaps more than I want to join Coodger & Dark's, even.
