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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I have Aliette de Bodard's Servant of the Underworld

Me too! That was the one free book I was genuinely interested in.

Are you guys familiar Book Bub? It's a subscription that sends you links to free and really cheap ebooks daily.

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.

Because books.

I ... but ... what? No.

Oh, come on! Don't impalers deserve love, too?

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

No. They need the blood of their enemies. It's bad enough there are stacks of Oh, Dracula isn't a monstrous predator, he's a brokenhearted woobie and his Tru Wuv Mina can save him! books out there.

Coffeeandink has a great how-to guide on using Calibre to manage books from a variety of sources, dealing with DRM, and porting them over to an e-reader. [link]
