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
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.
that was my take on Boneshaker, too. Wanted to like it -- didn't.
Jilli, I buy most books via Nook these days, so I gotta wait. But I will totes dish in a few!

I am going mad with wanting to burble at someone about Timeless. MAD!
... but I have to gloat, just a little bit. I've been emailing Gail Carriger about some other stuff, so I did get to squee at her about one particular thing in the book. She said she was particularly proud of that part.

Art Crawl!!!
FYI - I just got an email from Amazon to say that the new Naomi Novik book is out.
I am in the midst of Timeless. I have reached the part where they are sailing to Egypt.
So not v. far in.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm thrilled about the JK announcement. I wonder when the book will come out? in 2013 maybe?
I have been ignoring this thread for some reason. I'm 555 messages behind. Good gravy.
