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."
So ... last night Joe and are in bed reading (he's on Catching Fire ), and Joe is chewing his nicotine gum. Now, Joe's TMJ makes his chewing very loud. Suddenly, a hush fell over the room - he had stopped chewing. And then there was a loud, "What? WHAT? That is BULLshit!"
And it was then that I knew it had gotten real.
AHAHAHAHAHA! Man, you should be recording it.
I would SO buy tickets to Joe Reads The Hunger Games.

Me, too! Joe would be way snarkier and more entertaining than Mark.
And think how much fun it would be to have Joe and Aims Read - stereophonic snarking!
The end of the Parasol Protectorate series???!!
Yes, sumi. Believe me, I'm gnashing my teeth about it.
Is there a specific reason she's ending it?
I think it's that she had a specific story arc planned. I remember her saying that she never planned to turn it into a lengthy series.
That makes sense.
If the author thinks it is time to conclude the series, she is probably right. Otherwise you get things like the Amelia Peabody series far outliving its best days, and that awful OZ book with "button bright" as one of the characters. And "Tom Sawyer, Detective".
