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.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

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 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 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 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.

Because books.

Bummer.
I bought the first two used, and somehow I couldn't bear to pay $9.99 for the Kindle version. But now I have to WAIT for it to come. ::sobs::

I checked, and re-checked, just to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding the rules of loaning. But no, the loan-ability of a book is set by the publisher. Damn it.

And that's my publisher! Um, yay. ::sighs::

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I should stop wallowing in ridiculous Anne Rice vampire fluff and read something new.
Why mess with a good thing? And by good thing, I clearly mean "don't make me feel alone in rereading ridiculous Anne Rice." Except I think I finished everything I will likely get through.

Library books!
I am a huge fan of the Kindle for long reads and have the app on all of my devices too. I adore the way it'll ask me if I want to sync. I can read anywhere!
Last night I wandered through man eating lions *and* hostage negotiations.

Why do I always forget about that part?

I am going to finally read Pandora, and then I think I'm calling it quits on the Vampire Chronicles. I had forgotten how tedious Memnoch the Devil gets.

I think I actually liked Pandora, but I can't remember anymore.

Hey. New board.
My wife read A Discovery of Witches twice, and is not normally the type to reread. She loves it much. I didn't make it very far when I tried to read it, but may give it another try, since she loves it so.

I seem to recall liking Pandora. I mean, more Marius. That's got to be good. I clearly scampered off into Witches for a while but maybe I'll give some of the later Vamp Chrons a go.
Why do I always forget about that part?
My library only just started offering them. But it's great.
