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!

For fans of Seanan McGuire's Toby Daye series, John Rogers just announced he's optioned it.

It took five Tweets for someone to suggest Beth Riesgraf as Toby.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

That is utterly awesome!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That is great! I hope it happens. And I think Riesgraf would make a terrific Toby.

So does Seanan. She's a huge Leverage fan.

Also, she's going on her very first book tour! Only West Coast for now, though.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Cool! She's going to be at my favorite bookstore on Halloween - if I say, "I'm a friend of Polter-Cow," will I get extra credit? I think Indexing is currently my fave of her stuff, but I don't think I want her signing my Kindle.

Also, I was pimping her at a local Barnes & Noble last weekend, too. They had a table of zombie books out, but she wasn't on it, so I recomended her (not that I've read any of the Feed series, but you guys tend to be a pretty discerning crowd).

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The Atlanta Falcons have been using "Rise up" as a tagline since last year, and every time I hear it, I think "Rise up while you can."

She has five books—not to mention various short stories and novellas in magazines/anthologies—out this year:

Midnight Blue-Light Special, Book #2 in InCryptid
Indexing, the Kindle serial
Velveteen vs. the Multiverse, Book #2 in the Velveteen vs. series
Chimes at Midnight, Book #7 in October Daye
Parasite, Book #1 in Forced Evolutions

She also has a day job.

Yes! I mean, I don't know what kind of credit you're looking for, but it will be extra.

Chimes at Midnight, Book #7 in October Daye

7!?!?

Criminy, I'm behind!

I was just talking about her at my fave bookstore; the 27 different series of books, the music; I must be the biggest, most uncreative slacker in slackerdom next to her - is her day job curing cancer or something?

Yes! I mean, I don't know what kind of credit you're looking for, but it will be extra.

Yay!

It is NOT! It is a crappy job she keeps only for the healthcare.
