New Skulduggery Pleasant is in my hot little hands!
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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."

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, I now have a copy of Chimes at Midnight; have to finish up one of the books I'm reading now, but it's at the top of my TBR pile.

Well, a lot of romances involve a certain amount of impaling ... but not quite the way Vlad was known for.
