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."

"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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
