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."

Pretty cool! And here's an article.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How is Ma's dialogue formatted in the book? Because there don't seem to be dialogue tags; she just speaks sometimes.
I think it's just regular, but don't actually remember. Oh, you can Look Inside on Amazon. Not sure if this link will work: [link]

Oh, huh! Yeah, it's just regular, they just decided to get different actors for the characters. Neat.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I just finished the Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead book we wee talking about earlier. I wasn' really into it at first, and I stopped reading and read three other books. Then it was all I has left on the kindle on my bus ride so I started back up and it was REALLY good. It was almost magical realism meets detective novel. I just has one thing that I am being overly literal about and so I am confused. The man who was saving th parrots was only symbolically Vic Willing, Right? I didn't quite get it

I checked a book out called Masters of the Planet: The Search for our Human Origins.
The first blurb is by Jean Auel.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS
Just finished Shadow of Night (second book after A Discovery of Witches) and I loved it muchly. Now I'm sad that I'll have to wait forever for book three.
I can totally see why some of you don't like her writing, though--the pace is definitely glacial.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Ooh! Polgara, I'm so glad someone else read it. I went back and re-read Discovery of Witches and I'm somewhat surprised at how different the characters act in the two books. They are, separately, very enjoyable for me.
Also, WTF happened to Emily?! It's alluded to, but never followed up on.
