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).
Anybody can be a prop class clown.

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."

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
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.

One of the books that it recommended yesterday was this one but I wasn't sure I was ready for a historical romance about Vlad the Impaler.
