Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

'Get It Done'


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."

The status is NOT quo.

I've read the first six and hard-sold them to all of my students. I just can't wait for #7 any longer!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And once you get it you will have to devour it swiftly, and then we can talk about the Thing and the Other Things!

That's my cunning plan.

It is a good cunning plan.

I have to wait until the 20th when my brother gets back from England to read the new Skulduggery book. He's reading it on the plane and then stopping at our house on his way home from the airport to drop it off.. I love my bro - even tho I have to wait a week

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

the serious downside of purchasing on Amazon is that Amazon knows me. They send me email messages with things they think I will like and that engine is getting better and better.

check out this new fucking service:

kindle is partnering with audible and doing whispersync for select books, where you can read the book, and then it syncs with the audiobook position. I have wanted this shit for YEARS. YEARS.

The selection isn't quite there yet, but I'll be damned.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tep, at one point

I thought that was AU Vengeous (or Serpine? argh, I think I read too quickly). Because in the "real" Skulduggery universe, Vengeous could just look at someone and they would sort of explode, and his eyes turned yellow before that happened.

I guess I need to go re-read that part. Which might be difficult, since Tim has possession of the book now. Hopefully I'll get home from work before him.

Oh, you might be right.

Okay, how do I search the text of a hardback?

Eta: yup, that was Vengeous. I can't keep my bad guys straight.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I've been gone to long to know, but if anyone like Justin Cronin's 'The Passage', I've got by grubby hands on an advance copy of 'The Twelve' and so far, it's spectacular!

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Ahhhhh! I'm dying to read that!
