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.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

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 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?
Amy - Jan 28, 2012 6:27:54 pm PST #17698 of 28635
Because books.
It's on my list, but I haven't yet. I can also probably get a copy, though -- if you're not dying to read it, I can ask my editor to send it to me, and then send it on to you.

I put it on hold at the library, and I have other stuff to read, so there's no rush. Basically, if you had it, that would be cool, but it'll probably come up at the library within a week or 2. Thanks!
On the Skulduggery Pleasant front, I'm reading the author's blog, and I just got to an entry where he's talking about Skulduggery fanfic he's read, and giving short little reviews of some of them. So apparently he's pro-fanfic. He's very pro-fan, that's for sure.

Yes, I enjoyed it, though the last bit that was very "and now there will be a sequel!" annoyed me. And it's much like the many dystopia-novels, where the whole thing is a little weird and fake, but still, entertaining.
