My personal favorite was:
It made his insect eyes flash like a rocket.
Angel's lame. His hair goes straight up, and he's bloody stupid!
Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
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."

On Facebook Amazon Kindle posted this -
This year's most anticipated thriller comes out tomorrow. Do you know what Kindle book it is? Pre-order tonight and read it at midnight.
And I thought - it's gotta be Dan Brown.
It is.
There are a lot of positive reactions. I really wanted to post It made his insect eyes flash like a rocket, but I didn't.

Happy to report that the wolf howl recording seems to do the trick. Benji downstairs may not mind his owner's attempts to interrupt his barking jags, but he clearly doesn't want to draw attention to himself once he thinks White Fang is on the premises.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm reading Midnight Blue-Light Special, and I just love Istas and the Aeslin mice. (I'm at the part where they've moved to the old dragon lair, and Istas has met the mice and agreed not to eat them, and is going to eat rat with the mice. LOVE.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Today was my day volunteering at the library bookstore. I think I freak out the other women who volunteer at the there by liking weird things like graphic novels, science fiction, and Gone Girl. "Wasn't that really dark?" was asked in a very confused voice. I brought in two boxes of books to donate and came home with three new books bought at the bookstore and one borrowed library book. My goal is to at least get rid of more books than I bring into the house.
My library has a very small science fiction/fantasy section (it's a small library in general), and they frequently cull books and send them down to the library bookstore. So, today I was shelving books by William Gibson and Neil Gaiman, and it made me sad that these would no longer be on the library shelves.

I'm listening to Breakfast of Champions—it is a delight to hear Stanley Tucci say the word "asshole" so many times—and I'm 2/3 of the way through, and what I thought was a thin layer of metafiction just became a thicker layer, and it's changing my perception of what this book is actually about. Well, I've been trying to figure out what the hell this book is actually about the whole time, since it's not really about having a plot. It's pretty hilarious, though.
