I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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."

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]

Casper is rereading Farmer Boy and asking for Little House on the Prairie. I just read something lauding Betsy-Tacy as a non-racist alternative to LHOP. I've never read them - is there much pioneer-ness in Betsy-Tacy? I have a recollection we have fans - who wants to pimp them to me?
