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."

My pal Natalie has some things to say about book reviews - thought I'd boost the signal: [link]
Did you guys hear that they think they've found Richard III's skeleton?
I'm reading Reflections, a book of essays on writing by Diana Wynne Jones and am loving it. It's making me want to re-read everything of hers.
I read Diana's website a while back and it has a longish memoir about her childhood during WWII when she and her sisters were evacuated during the blitz. Really fascinating. Among other things, her neighbors out in the country included Beatrix Potter and T.H. White, both of whom were apparently quite grumpy.
Bloody and spoilery Song of Ice and Fire cartoon A-Z.
I'm about halfway through Blood Canticle, and it HAS to have been written as a comedy, right? Because it's hilarious. Sure, I side-eye the book pretty hard every time Lestat says "Dude" or "Yo", but then there are lines like "Not that the absence of hot chocolate meant anything metaphysically, of course", which are giggly delights.

I blame you entirely for the fact that I am going to eventually read this. Blame.

I am surprisingly okay with taking on that blame. It's hilarious! Metaphysical hot chocolate! Lestat giving editorial critique on Mona's journal entries!
I just put a hold on it. Lestat's critiquing Mona's journal clinched it. That's meta funny.
