I have a kindle app - I'm not sure that's loan-friendly, though I'd love to be wrong.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

Because books.
Code Name Verity is so fantastic I can't believe it. It really makes me want to read her other stuff.
Her other stuff is very much fantasy, though, and what I loved about this book was its truth, no pun intended. It was gritty and painful and beautiful at the same time, and I adored the characters. Like, adore as in, I might consider a tattoo that says, " Fly the plane, Maddie. ", for real.

Amy, if you figure out how to lend Kindle books, I'd love to borrow it after I finish going through all the Holmes books!

Sox could be right -- only some are lendable, and I'm not exactly sure how to do it, but I'll check it out.

x-post with Tech:
For anyone not yet in possession of an e-reader...
I'm currently being very tempted by a deal-of-the-day for a $40 (plus $5 shipping) re-furbed Kindle.
I already have a Kobo (Borders' ereader before they went belly-up), but I'm tempted (or looking for an excuse) to do compare and contrast.

If you want, you can read my blog post about a sample of "Atlas Shrugged" here. [link] It's also my 300th personal blog post.

Heads up: Mark Reads Newsflesh starts September 3! He's reading Feed, Countdown, Deadline, San Diego 2014, and Blackout. He is entirely unprepared. It's going to be awesome.

ORLY?!
I have now read "Feed" in 4 states, thankyou. I will have to follow this, maybe participate! Fun!

Join the comments! It'll be good times! Two of the mods have capslock-flailed their way through the series over on Spoils, and another just has the third one to go, but she's head over heels too. I can't wait to read all the newbies' reactions to everything.
He starts right after the Hugos, so it's perfect timing, especially if she wins!
