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."

Thrive to spite them

Has anyone read How Few Remain by Harry Turtledove?

It was recommended to me, but I'm having a hard time getting into it for a variety of reasons and I feel like I'm being too picky. Is it good, shoould I stick with it?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

P-C, those are the two I've not read yet.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I was disappointed that Sunshine by Robin McKinley did not have a cookbook. sigh ....

Yeah. I want the Death of Marat cake. I also want a sequel to the book, but I've resigned myself to that not happening.

The Night Circus is another book that stand alone. Erin Morganstern has said she's not writing a sequel for it. Again, I am not thrilled about this news. I want more of that world.

Because books.

Just one of the reasons Jane Yolen is one of my heroes.

We just added a Jane Yolen graphic novel about fencing to the school library! I squeed on 3 fronts! (The one before the one she writes about above.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's wonderful. I read a bunch of Jane Yolen when I was a kid. I think my favorite was Wizard's Hall.

Always Anti-fascist!

I bought two. Really didn't need them, but couldn't resist the price.

I bought the Short Stories!

How Dr. Seuss helped the Berenstains with their bears.
