Buffistas

I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'

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."

not your mom's socks.

I need the title of a book, from a description - how's your bookfinding-fu this morning, everyone?

What I know - the book is @ 20 years old (maybe), had a yellow cover, and the author's first name might have been Elizabeth. The setting was Medieval, the main character the oldest daughter of the king, who has since remarried. His new wife is pregnant and there are succession shenanigans afoot. There is an elaborate banquet scene with a large marzipan castle. And the title might have 'witch' in it.

I will bake cookies for the answer.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Is it a romance or straight historical fiction?

Is it fantasy YA, Sox? Something like Eva Ibbotson might have written?

Mmmm, I'm guessing YA-ish. It doesn't ring a bell. Do you know the LJ community "what was that book"? They are pretty awesome (a lot of librarians on there.) [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It is fantasy - I think... I'll check on Eva Ibbotson. Thanks for the links Tom and Flea.

Because books.

Anyone know of any cozy mystery series with a witch/Wiccan as the amateur detective?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They aren't really mysteries, but the magickal heronine of the Barbara Bretton "Sugar Maple Chronicles" owns a yarn store....

I am totally stumped by how to post to What Was That Book - I joined, but I'm obviously doing something wrong. Sad now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

i'm currently reading Buttons and Bows, a "magical dressmaking mystery" with "First in a new series!" on the cover. The heroine does call herself a witch, though not wiccan.
