Yeah, that was interesting. And I really do enjoy an addiction narrative so I'm always down for junkie stories.
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

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
I like Enid and Fran quite a bit, too. And in the Sparrow Hill Road stories (I'm only halfway done -- work calls) there's a connection, since Rose comes from Buckley Township in the 40's, and refers to babysitting at the Healy house!
I like "On Writing" for its autobio nature, interspersed with thoughts on writing. One thing I like about King is his no BS approach. There's no "THIS is the one true way to write."

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

One of the weird perks of being a semi-celebrity: new authors send me copies of their books! Delilah Dawson sent me Wicked as They Come, and Kate Lock sent me an ARC of God Save the Queen. So I'm set for silly genre reading for the week.
And speaking of silly genre reading: Come ON, who has read the last Parasol Protectorate book! I need to geeble more about it!

Aw, damn it! It's sitting on my bedside table. I'll start it tonight.

-t, do you want to wait until at least Teppy is done with it? Because I'm pretty sure she will join in on the general flailing of OMG BIFFY AND LYALL!

I thought that whitefont might be the most flail-worthy thing! Yeah, I don't mind waiting.
