Buffy ,'Potential'
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."
You say this as I'm about to start The Way We Fall.
I'm glad to see you're differentiating between post-apocalyptic and dystopian. I am irritated every time someone lumps both under dystopian.
(Did you see that Susan Beth Pfeffer has written a fourth "oh crap the moon exploded" book?)
She did? Geez, I just yesterday finished the first one! (I did not start on the "gee everyone is dead of some illness" one that's in my queue). Instead I am reading a book about a gay boy who goes to boarding school and decides to re-closet himself. It's interesting so far, if not super amazing. I am enjoying that there's gay YA these days that isn't just "oh shit I'm gay wtf ahhhh"
Alaya Dawn Johnston's The Summer Prince. That is all.
Woo hoo! Both Gooseberry Bluffs and Indexing updated.
I kinda wish they were on alternating weeks instead of both updating at once, but I'll take what they give me.
Read Mira Grant's Parasite Friday. SO GOOD. And I am so impressed with her research skills, although the science is beyond me; I can follow it, and it...makes me wanna look up tapeworms. It is science fiction in the best sense of the word.
Interview with Grant forthcoming in the next two weeks, as I have to re-read and take some notes, as of course I just mainlined it happily the first read.
I got the ARC through NetGalley, which made me VERY VERY happy, as I've been twitching like a junkie waiting to read it.
Finished The FitzOsbornes In Exile and just started The FitzOsbornes at War, and I'm dreading Major Heartache. I'm also going to miss Sophie so much when I'm done.
Given the success of Downton Abbey, it's a little hard to believe no one has snatched up this trilogy for Masterpiece Theatre. It would be perfect.
Read Mira Grant's Parasite Friday. SO GOOD.
Yay!! I need the next book nooooooow.
I KNOW, P-C!!
I'm really looking forward to reading the final book because I know she's changed things from the first draft (the opening is different, for starters, and she seems to have added a new structure/framing device), and also I've gotten over the "It's not like Feeeeeeeeeeed" part. I liked Deadline a lot more the second time around too.
