Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Jilli -- I read the last Vampire Kisses book! I honestly didn't expect it to end the way it did. I was totally expecting some soul-searching conversation about how being a vampire is not what it seems, etc., and that Raven would end up choosing to stay human and end up with Trevor.

It was very sweet, and a great distraction last week.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Teppy, I had the same thoughts, in a no, no, no! -dreading sort of way. So I was absolutely thrilled that Raven became a vampire! (Of course I was.) But besides my obvious biases, I was really glad that the author didn't take the expected, here's your After-School Special Message -sort of ending to the series.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll reread it tonight. It was so cute!

I have read Shiver. I liked it well enough but not enough to wait and then buy the new book that came after.

I did, however, love her Scipio Races which was amazing. Highly highly highly recommend.

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

So I liked Greenwitch more than the first two books! I don't think I'll end up loving the series, but I'm hoping I can eke out a general like now.

not your mom's socks.

Jo Walton catalogs (and, best of all, links) to stories that have pulled titles from Blake's Tyger and Marvell's Mistress. I like this so much, I'm trying to ignore the 1st paragraph typo that I'm sure they'll fix soon. [link]

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I've joined goodreads! I don't suppose there's an easy way to find friends without letting it search my email or connecting to fb?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Friending almost any Buffista will give you a list of the rest of us, I think. (If you click on someone's profile, you'll be able to see their friends in the righthand sidebar.)

Jessica, I used you as my gateway Buffista. And now I've hit my limit for friend request for the day! Whoops.
