Exciting news for Discount Armageddon fans: DAW just bought three more books! The next Verity book is Midnight Blue-Light Special, and then there are two Alex books, Half-Off Ragnarok and Pocket Apocalypse, followed by another Verity book, Professional Gore-eography.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

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."

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

Right on! I just finished Discount Armageddon and it was lots of fun (I also want Aeslin mice for reals!)

Hey. New board.
I also just finished and greatly enjoyed Discount Armageddon. I like Bill.

We think we have mice again, and Tim brought home a Hav-A-Hart trap, and my first reaction was "We could have Aeslin mice!!!"

Tep, I think that you should leave out some cake and maybe scraps of fabric to encourage them.

That's great, P-C! I really enjoyed the world building in Discount Armageddon.
ETA: HAIL!

Article here about The Handmaid's Tale by Atwood herself. Not much substance, mostly a description of how it was written and received.....
...except she does the Margaret Atwood thing again: My book isn't X because all X is such-and-such, and that's not what my book is.
It's "feminist dystopia" instead of "science fiction", but the song remains the same.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am going to have to read Discount Armegeddon, if only for the mice. (I'm trying to stick to library books or Kindle books these days, for budgety reasons)
