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."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Whoa. It's pretty hot as porn goes, I have to admit, but "Mr. Palmato" is her bleedin' FATHER, isn't he? Colour me wigged.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Somebody on my flist shared this, and I think there are people here who would appreciate it.

Scans from St. Nicholas, a 19th century British children's magazine

Just a beautiful set of vintage engravings and drawings.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I'm about halfway through Kiki Strike.

I agree with Steph that it is a very Buffista book, At the moment I am concerned enough about what is happeneing that I needed to pause.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

At the moment I am concerned enough about what is happeneing that I needed to pause.

What's happening right now? (I couldn't pause -- I read through it in almost one sitting, because I needed to know what happens.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Well they blew up the water main , everything they knew about Kiki was a lie and Kiki is gone. And they sold the reverse pided pieper thing. I had actually expected something like this to happen, but it came just as I ws getting off the BART trainand somehow I have avoiding picking it up again. I am actually fairly certin I will finish it tonight (if my cold doesn't put me to sleep) but I just find that I am very anxiious for the girls. Reading would resolve things, but something else might happen.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I just finished Kiki Strke and I'm going to go with classic tale(s) ( there are a few tales mixed in ) with some really fun twists . It fits in with my favorite genre - which starts with the retelling of fairy tales.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Beth, have you read Steven Brust's The Sun, The Moon, & the Stars? It uses a retelling of a Hungarian fairy tale. It's in Terri Windling's fairy tale series, with DeLint's Jack of Kinrowan, which I also liked, along with quite a few others I can't recall right off hand.
