Is the new Gail Carriger only available in hardcover right now?
I have no idea, but I just got it from the library yesterday. It's charming.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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."

Oh, I forgot that was coming out!
Looks like my library has ordered it but doesn't have a copy yet ... and now it's on hold for me when it comes in.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Eh. I think I shall go read some Nnedi Okorafor or N. K. Jemisin instead.
Yes! Have you read the Dreamblood books yet? So good! I'm over halfway through The Shadowed Sun, and I think it might be even better than The Killing Moon, although it's more rape-y. I'm more into the characters in this one.

I have The Killing Moon, haven't read it yet.
Dana might appreciate this: one of the Tor bloggers is doing a periodic review of old Paramount Star Trek: TOS tie-in novels.
I am entertained.

Amy,
I will leave megan's response as my own. I don't think you are prepared for the WTF.

Art Crawl!!!
I am reading an essay in a monograph about Colombian artist Omar Rayo and the essayist brought up The Silmarillion.
I don't think I've ever had a Tolkien book brought up in an art history essay.
(Essay is slow going - for me because it is in Spanish and my Spanish is pretty darn rusty.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The Long Earth strikes me as a great worldbuilding platform. Something it would be fun to write fic for.

Right? Practically designed for it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Interesting. Although I mostly completely disagree with her. She likes "Enterprise: The First Adventure" more than "Final Frontier"?

I was reading some of those reviews, and it seems silly to be judging the books for not showing sufficiently advanced technology. They seemed plenty futuristic to me when I read them. I need to find the Diane Duane books again, I think they're in the garage.
