I discovered the Indigo Vat blog this morning and she has a fun project going: Gray Fox Epistles - you would sign up for the story and receive a letter in the mail once a month with that month's part of the story.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That makes me very sad. I think I preferred when they were fighting.

Because books.
Better than Facebook? I don't know. I don't want Amazon to acquire everything, for one. And I can foresee every time I buy a book, an auto-post to my Goodreads account or something, and I don't like that. They could even do it for wish list items, I guess.

I don't want to link my FB and Goodreads accts either. I don't even "like" anything on FB. I hate that the "recommended" way to log in to places like Hulu is now via FB. Ugh.

My accounts are already linked, although sometimes I wish they were not. I really don't need to know when a relative reads 50 Shades of Grey.
I have the new Mercy Thompson book from the library! Just in time for a weekend away.

Co-signed! I realize this is probably a losing battle, but I really don't want every other site on the internet to be linked to my FB account or to know what I post about myself there.

I read it! It is good!
I also read the new Anne Bishop, which I also liked.
Visiting family = satisfying new book jones, thanks to my sister and mine's overlapping tastes. Ahh...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm with you all. I have a dummy FB acct that I use to register for sites if I need to. So far, I have only used it with one site that would not respond to customer support email messages.
