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."

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.

Because books.

Little, Brown to publish JK Rowling's first adult novel.

"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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Good gravy.

Aw. My grandmother used to say that all the time. That and, "Good night nurse."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Amy,

I actually say "good gravy" in real life. I have a lot of odd slang and turns of phrases embedded in my every day speech. Hell, I even exclaim in Yiddish sometimes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I say "holy moly" a lot, but "good gravy" is way cooler.
