Man, shit's been pretty real all along. But that's a big part of what I like about it, so more real-er is more better. Or something.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Because books.
Teppy!
I was so disappointed today -- I caved and ordered a used copy of the next Luxe book. And UPS came and had what looked like a book for me -- and it was a different book I won in a blogger contest. Argh.

I didn't love Discovery of Witches.

My mom's going to read A Discovery of Witches first, so maybe I'll wait and see what she thinks. She's pretty new to the paranormal stuff, but she's eating it up like crazy. She's on the third book of Libba Bray's series, and adoring it.

Aaaugh, the release date for the next (and final!) Parasol Protectorate book has been pushed back to March. Nooo, I need it sooner!
(We will not discuss the size of my to-be-read stack right now. I should stop wallowing in ridiculous Anne Rice vampire fluff and read something new.)

How is Luxe? It sounded like you guys are really enjoying it, but it had a ton of negative reviews on Amazon. I read the first chapter (basically a funeral/introduction of peeps) and it didn't grad me, but I don't know if I want to pay $7.99 and my library has it as an audio book, not kindle.

I am such a bad ebook user. I only purchase ebook versions of things I've read before.

The Luxe books are cracky popcorn for Edith Wharton junkies. The writing's not *bad* and it's pure costume drama and soap opera. Quick, fun reads.

Like Water for Elephants
is the first full new-to-me book I've read on the Kindle, and I'm not minding it at all, which surprised me.

Oh, I love reading on the Kindle app; I've got it on all of my devices. It's just that I'm only willing to plunk down money for ebooks if I know I already like them. The last ebook I bought was Night Circus.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
But that's a big part of what I like about it, so more real-er is more better. Or something.
I'm losing track of what happened in which book, but I think it's book 5 where I seriously couldn't believe what happened. Several things, actually (one of which I am *still* not really okay with). And book 6 had a couple of things that made me flat-out bug-eyed with astonishment.

I bought the Kindle version of Envy (it was MLK Jr. weekend and the library was closed and I seriously couldn't wait until Tuesday to get it), and I was all set to ask you if you had a Kindle because I would loan it to you, but it turns out that not all Kindle books are loan-able, and apparently the Luxe books aren't. Bah.
