I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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."

The 10th anniversary edition of Neil Gaiman's American Gods is available on the Kindle for $1.99 - [link] . Dunno for how long, so probably best to grab while you can.

Which raises a different Kindle issue - where do y'all go to find out about Kindle/e-book deals? I regularly check out Daily Cheap Reads but are there other places I should be looking as well?

I was doing some...ahem...and buying more than I wanted (especially since sometimes they were MORE expensive than the paperback due to publisher demands!) but now I am almost exclusively reading from the library. Yay, library!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ooh, thanks for the tip, bennett! I already have the non-anniversary edition, so two bucks isn't bad for the re-buy.

I didn't know you could ahem e-books - a sign of how out of it I am these days. From the usual suspects or e-book only places?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Ok, you all did so well with the "death and grieving" suggestions, any ideas for a non-fiction "book about a person with a disability"?

Anne Rice has a werewolf book coming out next month.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The juxtaposition of the two posts above mine made me laugh and laugh.
