Any Cherie Priest fans? I've started Boneshaker and I'm just... not loving it as much as I'd hoped. I'm not very far in, though... maybe it gets better?
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

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."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I didn`t love it either.

I started it and couldn't muster up the interest to finish it.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Okay, I feel validated. At least I only got it used? I bought the third one, too, b/c it's set in New Orleans. Maybe I'll put together a box of books to send to Powells.

I had no idea that The Academy sneered at audiobooks.Perhaps it's a misunderstanding and they're actually sneering at her for writing sentences like "But let’s be honest: when it comes to their own reading, nobody doesn’t like ease." Ugh.
I also don't understand why she answers her own question a few paragraphs in, and then keeps asking it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What Academy are we talking about here?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I didn't love Boneshaker, and didn't get the hype. Very bland IMO.

I liked Boneshaker

Ginger, I know a lot of people who did, which is why I checked it out -- I generally trust my friends' taste, and if they liked it, there's a strong chance I will, too. And that's also why I was bummed to not like it.
