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."

move out and draw fire

In my read-and-post of "Coyote Kings," I mention for erika that I hit another Tim Bayliss quote ("That silly man, and his silly cookies."). It introduces a chapter called "Render Unto Seizure."

Always Anti-fascist!

That sounds like Timmy on muscle relaxants, though I can't place it.(Still working through Season 7, which is pretty pathetic, aside from Bayliss, what with the Beauty Queen detective and everyone trying to do her, and Baby Gee, and the Ballard/Falsone mating ritual.)

Art Crawl!!!

The Zap2it article gives you the clues so that you can go to the JK Rowling website and reveal the title that way.

Because books.

Okay, the very last (and most important) clue didn't work for me. I tried it seventeen times! And it won't. work.

Ok, I recently finished Nora Roberts' Circle Trilogy and I have 1 question: Why is the trilogy 1000 pages and the epic battle less than 15 pages?

If anyone wants these books, send me an email to my profile address and they're yours!

Honestly, Megan? Because I don't think writing that kind of scene is one of Nora's strong points, nor especially interesting to her. (Or to me, to be frank. I can watch that stuff, but reading it makes me crazy. And bored.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me too, Amy -- I thought that was just right!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I skimmed the 15 pages. I figured I already knew that the good guys would win, and had no interest in reading the mechanics of getting to that point.

Exactly. This is one of the reasons reading the LotR trilogy is a little off-putting to me.

Also, romance? Happy ending guaranteed.
