If there's real interest, I could take this to Spoilers.

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."

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, there are definitely guns in it--the issues would seem to be manufacture, not whether gunpowder works or not.
I'm not interested in anything beyond the promo stuff. I don't want to be spoiled, so I'm bowing out here.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I'm interested and will switch over to spoilers :)

I would also liked to be spoiled.

Has anyone here read the Sandman Slim series by Richard Kadrey? I just finished the first one and ran right out to pick up he second one. I thought maybe someone here had recommended it, but I had no luck searching the thread. Anyway, if you like urban fantasy, this is a darkly delicious example of the genre.

not your mom's socks.
I haven't read Sandman Slim - might check it out.
I just started Rachel Hartman's Seraphina*. Has anyone else?
(*also started 2312 and re-started Range of Ghosts, but Seraphina won the weekend pile.)

Because books.
Did anyone read Code Name Verity? If so, why do you think the author made up a French town? If she didn't, I can't find anything about Ormaie anywhere online.
Never mind -- I finished and read the author's note in the back. Fantastic book.

I'm hoping to read that soon, Amy!

Because books.
I think I can loan it if you have a Kindle, although I've never tried it before. It's incredible and heartbreaking and perfect. I want to read every book listed in her research bibliography now.
