'A Hole in the World'
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."
I want to read Antimony's POV.
I think Alex's books are after Verity's. I don't remember when Antimony's are. I look forward to Sarah's books; I imagine they'll be hilarious.
So if I really like the Toby Daye books but didn't much care for One Hell of a Ride
"One Hell of a Ride" is okay. Discount Armageddon is much better. If what you didn't like about it was that there were crazy demons and shit, then that could be a problem, but I doubt that was why you didn't care for it.
Cool, thanks!
There's a collection - Westward Weird - that has the story of how Verity's grandparents met. It's called "The Flower of Arizona" (the mice are also in it - HAIL).
I liked Discount Armageddon a lot. It's lighter than the Toby Daye books - more humor and, to me, it felt like less of a world-ending crisis. LOVE the mice.
It's lighter than the Toby Daye books
I think that's because writing InCryptid is how Seanan recovers from writing Toby; the books take so much out of her.
LOVE the mice.
Everyone loves the mice. It is impossible not to!
At the book release party, someone asked about the mice, and she said that she could only use the mice in small doses because if you look at them too long, they actually become incredibly sad, since their entire existence is essentially recounting past tragedies and reliving the horrors year after year. Sure, they do the happy things too, but still.
But they have celebrations every day! she feeds them yummy food! and they're mice living in a fairly protected environment (no cats, no traps) with people who work with their rituals.

The Feast of I Swear, Daddy, I Will Kiss The Next Man That Walks Through That Door seems like a pretty cool feast. Depending on the man, I suppose.
Oh yeah, but there's also The Song of the Night So-and-so Walked into the Forest and Never Returned and such. It was an interesting and sad way to look at them, for sure. But I prefer to just embrace the HAIL! and CHEESE AND CAKE and hope they make it through the depressing days okay.
And the ritual of exchanging food for privacy doesn't exactly suck (unless that's how you eat the proffered food).
