The Mayor ,'End of Days'
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 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.
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 have the new Mercy Thompson book from the library!
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...
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.
Fans of Steven Brust and Scott Lynch may want to wander over to Cooking the Books. While done purely for fun, Lynch's "Fate of Beloved Characters" recipe may resonate particularly.
So it wasn't here I read about Iain Banks having less than a year to live: [link] ?
Oh no! That's terrible news.
I love his books --
You have to respect a guy who proposed by asking his significant other if she'd do him the honour of being his widow.
I like his books too, but...that just made things extra real.
He is married to her now (note: not THE Adele, but another Adéle).
