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.

Oh, and when did The Secret Circle become a "great fantasy saga"?

It definitely seemed like a half-assed list to me. I don't even read fantasy and I know there's stuff they missed. The Dresden Files isn't on there, right? And if you're going to include The Secret Circle, why not Sanctuary or Warehouse 13 or Haven?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

A retelling of Cinderella - with robots!

Hey, I've read that! I picked up an ARC at a booksellers show last month. It's really, really fun. Very well written, with detailed, complex worldbuilding (woven unobtrusively into the flow of the narrative without a single out-and-out infodump) and a really engaging heroine. I snarfed it down in two days and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ooh. That looks intriguing.

Thomas Canty has donated a drawing he did for the illustrated special edition of A Feast for Crows to the Terri Windling fundraiser. (Not surprising - I believe he did the covers for the Fairy Tale series and for various anthologies that Terri Windling edited.

Do you know somebody who needs a Margaret Atwood doll?

I don't need Margaret Atwood, but I definitely need Frances Hodgson Burnett, GK Chesterton and Carson McCullers, and I wouldn't say no to Charlotte Bronte or Edith Wharton either.
