Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

not your mom's socks.

So now dystopia comes in Sparkly along with the more traditional Dark?

love this so much.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Effie Trinket and the Capitol bring the Sparkly to the dystopic yard.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

Jilli, have you heard anything--good or bad--about this one? [link]

It's about a human boy hiding amongst vampires in a human-less society, but it's not out until May.

I haven't heard a thing about that one. But it sounds like someone wanted to have their vampires and dystopia all in one place.

It also sounds like a YA/dystopia take on this book: [link]

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Also, if it is a world with no humans, then the vampires live on animal blood/synthetic blood. Which makes them humans with superpowers, special dietary needs, and possibly allergies to sunlight and garlic.

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

Which reminds me of Daybreakers, which was pretty cool.

Genre mashups--it's what's for dinner!

Too bad the reviews make it sound average, 'cause the premise sounds interesting.

Also, if it is a world with no humans, then the vampires live on animal blood/synthetic blood. Which makes them humans with superpowers, special dietary needs, and possibly allergies to sunlight and garlic.

I was wondering about that part--eradicating the preferred food supply doesn't sound terribly smart.

So vampires are no smarter than humans, then.
