Woo hoo! Both Gooseberry Bluffs and Indexing updated.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I kinda wish they were on alternating weeks instead of both updating at once, but I'll take what they give me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
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.

Because books.
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.

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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Read Mira Grant's Parasite...

Oooh, you have the BEST scoop, P-C!
dcp, I'm PRETTY sure Parasite is an auto-read on NetGalley. Lots of ARCs there you have to request; sometimes you're approved, sometimes not.
You can give it a try:
ETA: But be sure to buy it when it comes out! Support your authors!
