Anya ,'Dirty Girls'
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'm just waiting for the next Skulduggery Pleasant book (Last Stand of Dead Men) to show up on my doorstep. I should have it Wednesday.
Mine came today. Yay! If only I could say "screw work" and curl up reading for the next few days.
So jealous! Although my editing test for the AMA is due tomorrow, so I couldn't read LSoDM tonight even if I had it. But it had better arrive tomorrow, because it's my reward for those 2 tough editing tests.
Tep, did you get The Maleficent Seven (Tanith Low!) also? I'm a bit torn as to which to read first...
The serials are a bit repetitive because each installment has to be able to stand alone. She does the same thing in the Velveteen stories, which are fantastic superhero fiction.

Read Maleficent Seven first. There's a Thing that is probably going to be relevant.
Cool, will do.
I mean, a few Things happen, and the whole story feeds into LSoDM (I'm guessing), but...yeah. Definitely a Thing.
I definitely respect the Things that can happen, judging by previous Things. Odd that that didn't occur to me even when I realized there was, in fact, chronological order to consider (which took me a while - I can't even explain that except that literally all I knew about The Maleficent Seven until I had it in my hands was that people who bought Last Stand of Dead Men also bought it (and who the author is, of course))
Is your Maleficent Seven book the hardcover with the pictures on the inside covers of the bad guys (front cover) and good guys (back cover)? I kept flipping back and forth between the text and the covers as more characters were introduced, so I could figure out who was who (some are obvious from the start, of course, like Tanith and Billy Ray Sanguine).
It is! Ooh, that'll be a treat.
I don't mind the repetition on the serials because it saves me the fuss and bother of going back to reread the previous chapter.
