Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I often say Holy Mother of God, or Mother of God when I really want to say Motherfucker.
I do this except it usually backfires and I wind up saying Holy Mother of FUCK.

So, remember upthread when I discovered that even though some of the new Temeraire books are being shipped already, the Kindle version won't be released until the official date of March 6? And I went "bah," and then pre-ordered it just to be sure?

WTF. People SUCK.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, the same thing happened with Mira Grant's final zombie book
