Rayne, I did not. That sounds like fun!!
Never been an Anne Rice fan, really.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I knew that, and am pretty psyched about it.
I read tons of Anne Rice, starting in high school. I adored them, of course. I read some of Belinda; was bored. Read all of the Sleeping Beauty books, was bored by the middle of the 2nd (my first intro to BDSM, really) and was all "BLAHBLAH ass-sex flogging ball-gag ponyboys, BLAH BLAH, whatever, ok."
I liked Merrick. And I liked the Mayfair books until the 3rd or 4th one, but by that time, I was all cynical and "Let your editor do her job, bitch!! Don't believe your own hype!"
I have tons of books on the TBR pile, and several I want to review that I've liked, but I've been swamped with paying jobs.
Most of them are resumes, which pay the grocery bill, but I'm really trying to get more booky/geeky jobs. I've gotten some interviews, but I don't have anyone who wants to give me money for them -- YET. Man, I REALLY love interviewing authors. Amy got me hooked. I've got an interview with Laura Anne Gilman scheduled, as soon as Dragon Virus gets here (small press, print-only), and I can blaze through it. I'm a thorough researcher.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I only have heard the audio book of Cry to Heaven but it was read by Tim Curry and just hearing him say "Tonio" turned my bones to butter.

Was there a consensus on A Discovery of Witches? My mom has a copy I can borrow, but I seem to remember some readers here didn't like it.
Amy, I liked it quite a bit. More than I thought I would.

Skulduggery Pleasant readers who've gotten through book 5 (Mortal Coil), here's a short-short story Derek Landy wrote that takes place after Mortal Coil. It is EXTREMELY SPOILERY for Mortal Coil, so keep that in mind. [link]
I'm both horrified and enthralled by the combination of Billy-Ray Sanguine (who I admit I utterly adore) and Remnant!Tanith. Although I'm still not really okay with Tanith having a Remnant inside her.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have to wait 2 or 3 weeks to read Dark Days and the rest. Pout. Better than a year, but still, waiting is a drag.

Mark my post and come back. It's a pretty good micro-story, and gives me the willies for reasons you will understand when you get there.

Has anyone read Veronica Roth's Divergent?
