It is a good cunning plan.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

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."

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.

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

move out and draw fire
OK, you guys, at least Teppy and Pix, owe me a weekend. I downloaded and then devoured the first three Skulduggery Pleasant books, and lost a couple days to them.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am about 30% into Zone One (according to the Kindle) and wondering when the exposition dump is going to stop.
