I loved that book.
Murk: But you're a God! The Sacred Glorificus! Glory: I'm a God in exile. Far from the Hellfires of Home and sharing my body with an enemy that stabs my boys in their fleshy little stomachs!

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."

Because books.
I'm on the third Montmaray book now, and loving it, as well.
Sara read Wonder and she adored it. I want to read it, too.

I just started Code Name Verity too! And I also picked up the second book (I think it's a sequel, or at least has some of the same characters?) at the same time -- they were in an airport bookstore in Heathrow, and I couldn't resist.
Also, a big thank you to everyone who recommended Among Others by Jo Walton. I read it this week and, oh, it made me so happy.

The second book is out? I missed that!
I'd like to read Among Others, too.

Yes. Set after the first and with an American ATA officer captured in a concentration camp. It's not available yet in the US.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Aargh. It's not supposed to be out here until September.

Yes, it's not out here until the fall, which is why I couldn't resist buying a copy in Britain.

OMG I hadn't heard there was another one by Wein! Wow. How can I get myself a copy, I wonder...

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Finished Code Name Verity. Am weepy mess. But sooo good. Looking forward to re-reading, though not right away, as I think the library will want it back.
