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."

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

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Yeah, that's not a surprise, ita. I read FHtE last year, and was surprised that as much of the gay stuff survived editing as it did.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OOh, that's so good.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

This may not be the right place, but were you aware of a team in the Quidditch World Cup?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Quick question....

My school is starting a Before School Book Club and we are hoping to buy books for our kids to keep. We need five titles. We're starting with Cold Kiss and then we'll read Shine. But I need three more titles.

Ideas?

not your mom's socks.

Jo Walton's Among Others (which is a lot about reading groups and books - sci fi slant)

Because books.

What about How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff, or Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why? Maybe Stardust by Neil Gaiman? Oh, or Jellicoe Road by [author whose name I can't remember] or Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma (which you should read anyway).

Not for a school bookshelf, because there are some very fine sexytimes scenes (at least I thought so), but I just finished the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms trilogy - that's some amazingly fun reading, and fine writing. Especially if you like meddlesome gods.
